a distinct interface, list of commands and list of key shortcuts, in addition
to the global commands and key shortcuts.
+Tabs
+----
+On all tabs, you get a line showing the the list of all opened tabs. Each tab has a number, each time you open a new tab, it gets the next available number.

+image::../images/tab_bar.png["Example of 5 opened tabs", title="Example of 5 opened tabs"]
+
+The tab numbered _0_ is always the _roster_ tab, the other tabs can be of any type.
+
+The status of a tab is represented by its color:
+
+* *[navy]#blue#* (tab _0_): an inactive tab of any type, nothing new to see there.
+* *[purple]#purple#* (tab _1_): a MultiUserChat tab with at least one new unread message.
+* *[green]#green#* (tab _2_): a tab of a private conversation with a new message to read.
+* *[teal]#cyan#* (tab _3_): the current tab.
+* *[red]#red#* (tab _4_): a MultiUserChat tab with at least one new hightlight message.
+
+You can go from one tab to another in many ways:
+
+* Ctrl+n and Ctrl+p
+* <<command-win, win>> command
+* <<command-next, next>> and <<command-prev, prev>> commands
+* Alt+ a number
+* Alt+j followed by a two-digits number
+* Alt+e, this will jump to the next tab with the highest priority. Priority applies in this order: private message > highlight message > normal message.
