Then I will bind tab switching by name to the most easy to type
key sequence 'C-x t RET tab-name RET' because reading the tab name
needs to be finished by RET too (like 'C-x 8 RET char-name RET').

Please try the already implemented switching by index
using customization of 'tab-bar-select-tab-modifiers'.
