* lisp/subr.el (ctl-x-6-map, ctl-x-6-prefix): Move here from tab-bar.el
to make it available to other modes like dired for 'C-x 6 d'.

* lisp/dired.el (dired-other-tab): New command bound to 'C-x 6 d'.

* lisp/tab-bar.el: Bind 'C-x 6 o' to tab-next.

 by typing the related commands: @kbd{M-x tab-new}, @kbd{M-x tab-next},
 @kbd{M-x tab-list}, @kbd{M-x tab-close}, etc.
 
+@kindex C-x 6
+  The prefix key @kbd{C-x 6} is analogous to @kbd{C-x 5}.
+Whereas each @kbd{C-x 5} command pops up a buffer in a different frame
+(@pxref{Creating Frames}), the @kbd{C-x 6} commands use a different
+tab with a different window configuration in the selected frame.
+
+  The various @kbd{C-x 6} commands differ in how they find or create the
+buffer to select:
+
+@table @kbd
+@item C-x 6 2
+@kindex C-x 6 2
+@findex tab-new
+Add a new tab (@code{tab-new}).  You can control the choice of the
+buffer displayed in a new tab by customizing the variable
+@code{tab-bar-new-tab-choice}.
+@item C-x 6 b @var{bufname} @key{RET}
+Select buffer @var{bufname} in another tab.  This runs
+@code{switch-to-buffer-other-tab}.
+@item C-x 6 f @var{filename} @key{RET}
+Visit file @var{filename} and select its buffer in another tab.  This
+runs @code{find-file-other-tab}.  @xref{Visiting}.
+@item C-x 6 d @var{directory} @key{RET}
+Select a Dired buffer for directory @var{directory} in another tab.
+This runs @code{dired-other-tab}.  @xref{Dired}.
+@end table
+
 @vindex tab-bar-new-tab-choice
   By default, a new tab starts with the current buffer that was
 current before calling the command that adds a new tab.  To start a
 new tab with other buffers, customize the variable
 @code{tab-bar-new-tab-choice}.
 
+  The following commands are used to delete and operate on tabs:
+
+@table @kbd
+@item C-x 6 0
+@kindex C-x 6 0
+@findex tab-close
+Close the selected tab (@code{tab-close}).  It has no effect if there
+is only one tab.
+
+@item C-x 6 o
+@kindex C-x 6 o
+@kindex C-TAB
+@findex tab-next
+Switch to another tab.  If you repeat this command, it cycles through
+all the tabs on the selected frame.  With a positive numeric argument
+N, it switches to the next Nth tab; with a negative argument −N, it
+switches back to the previous Nth tab.
