Hello guys, I want to move tab using "node input text" to search and change tab in Dasboard Node-red. Any solution?  
For example, I have 3 tabs in the console which are 1,2 and 3. In tab 1, I want to type "2" and submit and it automatically switches to tab 2

If you highlight the a ui-control node you will see the help text in the help sidebar.

These [essentials videos](https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLyNBB9VCLmo1hyO-4fIZ08gqFcXBkHy-6&v=ksGeUD26Mw0&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fnodered.org%2F&source_ve_path=OTY3MTQ&feature=emb_imp_woyt) are worth a watch and will introduce you to the basics of node-red.
