Since CtrlTabs and AllTabs are very similar, and CtrlTabs is much further along and cleaner.  We should think about creating a single combined feature.  Add search to CtrlTabs and ability to display as a panel matrix like AllTabs and it would be done, I like CtrlTabs ability to switch between tabs, but AllTabs doesn't have such functionality.



Reproducible: Always




If this was a single feature but had _parameters to control its output, that would be better than implementing two completely different implementations of very similar features.

See other browsers for design ideas for single preview/UI behavior.  Also very similar functionality is being tossed around as new UI for about:blank.

do you have the new ctrl+tab panel enabled?

Yeah.  I checked out both, I could open the All-tabs from the Ctrl-Tabs.. but I was thinking is there an alternative option here.
