Gnome Console adds Overview Page to show All Open Tabs
Gnome Console terminal emulator added new tab overview feature a few days ago by releasing version 44 beta.
For those never heard of Gnome Console, it’s new core application for GNOME desktop since version 42. Gnome Console formerly called kgx, has a more modern and native look and feel than the previous Gnome Terminal. Ubuntu proposed to use Gnome Console as default terminal emulator in 22.10 release, but delayed due to few regressions.
Gnome Console has an attractive feature that the header bar turns red when running sudo command or switching to root user. And, it goes purple for remote / ssh terminals.

With the most recent Gnome Console 44 Beta release, it has a new “Show All Tabs” option under the hamburger menu (≡).
