Manage your terminals

I work with terminals all the time, and most of the windows opened are teminals. I would like to get them somehow organized, for example in tabs. But the problem is I open them from nautilus (Open in Remote Terminal https://github.com/umpirsky/nautilus-scripts/blob/master/Open%20in%20Remote%20Terminal) so it opens always a new window.

Is there any tool that can keep then on one terminal window in separate tabs? I saw terminator, but that works separated from native ubuntu terminal app.

If you have terminal window "A" open and terminal window "B" open.
You can select window "A", then open another tab in that window with Ctrl + Shift + T.
After that you can click and drag Tab "A" to "B" leaving a window with the last created tab alone and a new window with your two old windows "A" and "B" as tabs.

After this you can right click on the tabs to give them labels.
I can do this with the gnome-terminal, a.k.a. the standard terminal.

Then you can change the default switch to next tab to a more practical key.
