When using the ctrl
+ tab
shortcut, the default browser setting is to switch tab to the next one in order.
I like it a lot but it's not default in other tools I use a lot as a developer.
Using ctrl
+ tab
in Visual Studio Code
In VSCode we'll have to tweak the keyboard shortcuts preferences. I prefer to edit them in JSON by typing ⌘ cmd
+ ⇧ shift
+ p
, Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON)
and then adding:
{
"key": "ctrl+tab",
"command": "workbench.action.nextEditorInGroup"
},
{
"key": "ctrl+shift+tab",
"command": "workbench.action.previousEditorInGroup"
}
This will allow us to navigate through grouped tabs with our browser shortcuts.
Using ctrl
+ tab
in iTerm2
(First never forget to use the Natural Text Editing
key mapping preset. I don't understand why it's not default)
To handle ctrl
+ tab
correctly, you'll have to tweak the "Keys" tab and replace the key bindings we're looking for to switch to Previous Tab
/Next Tab
.
Tada we're done with it! 🎉
