Is there a shell that has tabs that you can use with mingw?

I don't mean tabbed completion. I mean tabs like what firefox, chrome etc have, that you can switch between.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're looking for a tabbed interface for multiple bash shells, right? If so, you could use Console2 to host your mingw windows. I use it for Cygwin and it works great! Just configure each tab in Console2 to start the MinGW bash shell.

Just tried it, as of 2019 on Windows 10, it looks like when I set up Console2 to open msys2.exe, msys2 opens in a new window regardless (it does not open in a Console2 tab); ConEmu seems to be an alternative

yes, that's what I meant. I will try console2, Thanks. – None – 2010-01-12T15:42:25.420

GNU screen would do what you want, but a quick Google search seems to indicate that there's not currently a Cygwin or mingw build of the tool.
