Feature: Provide a list of all open chat and chat room tabs

[redactedscribe]

Describe the solution you'd like

Currently when one is joined to many chat room or chat message tabs, the only way to see them all (or at least, more at once) is to wait for any given tab to receive a new message, then right-click on the notification icon that appears at the end of the tab row (which shows only tabs with new messages). When this icon is right-clicked, all tabs are shown in a list, making it more convenient to jump to a given one, or simply to see an overview of what is open, compared to having to scroll through them all to discover at where a specific tab you're looking for actually is.

The improvement here would be to provide an area/icon to click even when no new message has arrived so that tabs can be browsed in list format at any time.

The open chat tabs should be added to the Autocomplete list of the frame's TextEntry, regardless of if the user is a buddy or not.

The Chat History popover should ideally feature all the open chats, regardless if a log file exists or not.

Right-click empty space or a close button in the tab bar to get a list.

Where do you see close buttons? Ah, seems I've had those disabled via the Preferences for a while (like my browser's tab close buttons it's annoying when I accidentally click them). With close buttons disabled and no blank space to click, there is no way to see a list. Preferably this wouldn't be a choice and it'd be possible in both cases.

I agree it should be easier to open the list, but for now, you should be able to press anywhere between the tabs (where text isn't present) to open the list, even with close buttons disabled.

Alternatively, right-click any buttons on the tab pages.

It's also possible to show a list of tabs without the close buttons enabled when you right-click the blue highlight that lines the bottom of the tab (under the username).

In public chat you can also right-click in the empty area of the Users header, or in the space below the list.

In private chat when the tabs are on the right hand edge and the window is maximized then the context menu can be opened by right-clicking on the far right hand edge of the screen (last pixel).
