Open VMs in tabs instead of windows (like VMware)

I'm not a fan of having multiple windows on my desktop, and a lot of people don't want their desktop to be cluttered with windows, too. Is there a possible way of adding tabs like VMware? If so, could you make it in the next big release of UTM? Workstation-1

I've realized something: If you add tabs, then you would have to redesign the entire home UI. That's why think this should be added in a major update, like 4.0.

It's a good Idea to put an option to disable Tabs. This is also good alongside redesigned preferences.

Anyone ever used MobaXTerm? Windows tool for managing shells, RDP/VNC sessions, etc. that has horizontal and vertical tabs, and allows you to set on a per-bookmark basis how those should open -- in a tab (default), windowed or full-screen (or "integrated desktop" via X server). You can switch any window between the

It might be possible to use the macOS document-based application API to take advantage of the system’s multi-window & tab functionality.

I recently discovered Royal TSX, a remote connection management macOS application, supporting VNC, RDP, SSH, Web, etc.

It has a very pleasant and efficient UI, with a hierarchical Navigation panel on the left, a splittable, tabbed pane on the right with an always present "Overview" tab, showing miniatures of active connections, and tabs for every active connections.

This could give you some inspiration... ;-)
