I know tabs as things which move visually to the next column 8n.  I only
know vaguely what "tabs" means in this new sense.  A @dfn{tabs} would be
greatly appreciated.

The documentation in the Emacs manual still needs to be finished.

I've tried several of the new commands on a Linux tty, including
tab-bar-mode, and C-x 6 b.  Although they didn't throw any errors, none
of them appeared to do anything.  Is the new mode intended to work on a
tty?

I don't think C-TAB and S-C-TAB exist on a typical tty keyboard.  They
don't on the default Linux tty keyboard.

Is there a keyboard equivalent?
