Although such a retro-looking terminal feels cool, lack of tabs convenience limits its usage severely. I suggest adding an optional (hidable) adequately-styled switch (looking like a row of vintage buttons or, an analog frequency line, a tumbler or whatever) that would switch "channels" doing the same job tabs do in conventional GUI terminal emulators.

Here are some examples of vintage channel switching controls to possibly inspire the design:

Maybe you can use some terminal multiplexer like tmux?

I could make the hardware side of this, and the connectivity using an esp8266 running micropython, quite easily (and very cheap)

This would be very useful. I use tmux, but I use tabs for each server I am logged into.
