feature request:hotkey to move the active tab around

Post by Ralf_Reddings »

Am on the latest alpha release and sorely missing the following commands:
- move the active tab to the left
- move the active tab to the right most of the list of tab, so that it becomes the last tab
- move the active tab to the right
- move the active tab to the left most of the list of tabs, so that it becomes the first tab

thank you

I will consider a move tab menu.

Thank you for the suggestion.

For now, please drag your tabs into position.

Are you aware of other applications that can move tabs around using keyboard shortcuts?
And if so: which shortcuts do they use?

In chromium fork browsers including Google Chrome and MS Edge, and in VS Code, Ctrl + Shift + PageUp/PageDown will move the current tab position left or right.
I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's the de facto standard, but I think it's a relatively common key assignment and many people are already familiar with it.

Thank you brandySnake, very useful information!

Tested with Firefox and Notepad++ : same shortcuts.
You learn something new here every other day ...
