I have a bash script which opens several tabs inside one window and I want to choose one tabe as the default focus
for example the below script opens 3 tabs on one window:
gnome-terminal --tab --geometry="100x20" --title="TAB1" -- bash -ic "command1"
gnome-terminal --tab --geometry="100x20" --title="TAB2" -- bash -ic "command2"
gnome-terminal --tab --geometry="100x20" --title="TAB3" -- bash -ic "command3"
So, let's say I want tab2 to be the focus after running the script and openning the window. Is there a way to specify that from the script?

I highly recommend installing terminator, it's a program which offers flexible management of multiple running gnome terminals. It allows you to choose a tab as the default focus while still viewing any other amount of terminals on the same view. It can be installed via:
$ sudo apt install terminator

Similar this has been asked before and for this reason, maybe it can help you. If you want to do a lot of personalization, the gnome-terminal may not show much flexibility for that.
