[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I’m using macOS. Tab-bar-mode UI is not supported on macOS. The UI is not too important to me.
I want to use tabs like this:

1. create new every tab with a name
2. switch to a named tab

For 1, can tab-new prompts for a name to create the tab? Like when running with C-u M-x tab-new? Or provide a new command like tab-new-with-name?

For 2, is there a command which can switch to a named tab? It prompts for the name of the tab to switch to.
