Terminal views all show same name 'Terminal' in Ctrl+F7 view switcher popup

Problem

When multiple Terminal views are open and you use Ctrl+F7 to cycle through open views, the view switcher popup shows all terminal entries with the same name "Terminal". This makes it impossible to distinguish which terminal to switch to.

The Terminal tabs/views have the correct name:

Expected Behavior

Each Terminal view should have a unique name in the popup, e.g. "Terminal 1", "Terminal 2", "Terminal 3", matching the tab label shown in the view itself.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open 2 or more Terminal views (e.g. via Window > Show View > Terminal multiple times)
2. Press Ctrl+F7 to open the view switcher popup
3. Observe that all terminal entries are listed as "Terminal" — no numbering to differentiate them

Environment

• View class: TerminalsView
• Contributing plug-in: org.eclipse.terminal.view.ui (1.0.100.v20260410-1230)
• View identifier: org.eclipse.terminal.view.ui.TerminalsView
• Terminal Feature 1.0.100.v20260410-1244 org.eclipse.terminal.feature.feature.group Eclipse.org
• Eclipse Version: 2025-12 (4.38)

Additional Context

The tab labels in the view stack itself correctly show numbered terminals (e.g. "Terminal 1", "Terminal 2"), but the getPartName() or equivalent method used for the Ctrl+F7 switcher does not reflect this numbering.

A fix would likely involve ensuring the view's getPartName() (or the secondary ID / content description) returns the numbered name so the switcher can display it distinctly.

Yep, reproducible on master. Looks like you have already fix in mind? Please set a PR.

Hi @iloveeclipse , I just added some screenshots as well. I have a fix in mind and just wanted to create this ticket to attach my changes. When I have time I will create a PR!

Note, the problem here affects all views that allows multiple view instances (Terminal, Console, Search). So the fix should be generic one.
