The default keybindings have them bound to Alt-< and Alt->. Note, however, that there are problems recognizing those keybindings when using XTerm, so you might want to rebind them.</p></div><div class="section" title="Saving and restoring tabs"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="idp6586352"></a>Saving and restoring tabs</h3></div></div></div><p>Several features use bookmarks to save tabs; they will create a folder and bookmark therein the currently displayed document of each tab:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"> You can explicitly command all tabs to be bookmarked.
