Do not open a query or thread in a new tab if it is already open in a tab

[mardukbp]

Sometimes it happens that I have a thread open, then I do other things and later on I want to view that thread again and open it in the thread index. Currently astroid opens a new tab with the thread even though it is already open in a tab. I would prefer it to switch to the corresponding tab instead of polluting the tab bar unnecessarily.

This also applies to queries.

Yes. I think it should be configurable, it should not be too hard to implement, you could try.

Honestly tabs are so easy to navigate and close, it does not seem that necessary :-)

Maybe we could provide a Jump-to-tag search thing (with completion)?

I don't understand what that means :-)

So, say pressing M-b or something opens a search field like the regular query or filter drop-down search bar. This can be used to search for open tabs and will jump to the first one it matches.
