Suppose you have a terminal with two tabs. You click, drag, and let go one of these tabs and it becomes an independent terminal window. After a while, you want to take this terminal window and reattach it as a tab to the previous window. How do you do it ? I have seen the merge windows option in the menus, but that merges all windows into one, which I would then have to revert.

You need to, in the window you want to move, go to View-> Show Tab Bar (if the tab bar isn't showing already).

Then, drag the tab of the window you want to move onto the window you want to move it to.

For this and other reasons, I always have the tab bar visible. I recommend doing so, because tabs have several useful status/activity indicators (starting in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion). – Chris Page Apr 9 '12 at 11:47
