Tab Multi-Select movement

#1

Commands for moving between 2 panes of 2 tab simultaneously selected (the easiest way I have found to multi-pane editing) using ⌥-filename-click is impossible for me. The shortcuts in tab-multi-select don’t work at all and I’m not sure how to build mine. I don’t want sophisticated groups, but simply, seldomly to keep 2 panes one by the other in the simplest way

,{ "keys": ["super+ctrl+alt+right"], "command": "focus_neighboring_group" }

what am I doing wrong here?

The command focus_neighboring_group works on groups/panes in a real multi-column layout, not on multiple selected tabs.

The commands to change focus of multiple selected tabs are:

{ "keys": ["super+j", "super+shift+["], "command": "focus_to_left" },
{ "keys": ["super+j", "super+shift+]"], "command": "focus_to_right" },

Thanks, and yes, I saw them there listed among the default keyBindings.json but the problem is they are double key bindings and, what is worse, they do not work at all. It doesn’t work even changing it, for example to a simpler shortcut.

,{ "keys": ["super+ctrl+alt",">"], "command": "focus_to_right" }
,{ "keys": ["super+ctrl+alt","<"], "command": "focus_to_left" }

None of them do anything in multiple-selected tabs. If you split the panes in groups, the shortcut (announced in the menu: View → Focus Group → Next, Previous, that is: ⌘K ⌘→, ← both work well, but of course they have nothing to do with the Multiple-selected tabs

Bound key combos are a question of taste, but they work fine on my Win11 / ST4192 and 4196 builds.

Those default shortcuts work for me on macOS. Note that the edited ones you posted are incorrect, it should be ["super+ctrl+alt+>"], instead of ["super+ctrl+alt",">"].
