I want to move my tab side to side using keyboard. In VSCode the shortcut is CTRL + SHIFT + PgDn
or CTRL + SHIFT + PgUp
, command name is workbench.action.moveEditorRightInGroup
, but there is no similar command in VS 2022. However this can be achieve by installing Tabs Studio, it’s working good but a bit laggy when animation is disabled also the licence cost $49/year and it’s too much for me.
Im looking for alternative or work around for this because I working with a lot of tabs.
Shortcuts are defined by default (Ctrl+PgDn / PgUp), the only thing is that it is shadowed by Edit.ViewBottom
and Edit.ViewTop
. You need to remove or redefine these shortcuts from Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard
Then Ctrl+PgDn/PgUp
will allow you to navigate between tabs just like in VS Code.
You can also use Previous document window commands/ (Ctrl+Shift+F6
) shortcuts do about the same thing.
For more information,please read doc:global shortcuts
Update
After some researching, it seems that moving tabs side to side using keyboard is not supported in visual studio shortcuts.
Here is a similar feature request submitted by other user :
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/keyboard-shortcut-for-moving-tabs/1337230
I suggest you can also submit a new feature request from Visual Studio Forum due to the old one is lack activity.
