Description

Go into visual mode and then press t key multiple times to create multiple tabs.

$ r2 /bin/ls
[0x6000000]> Vp
ttttttt

Currently the tabline looks like this (by default):

_____(1)___(2)__/ t= \___(4)____

We can think about prettier representation, with a different colors maybe, and Unicode characters.

see libr/core/visual_tabs.inc for the implementation.
