Originally created by @vvekic on GitHub (Oct 10, 2020).

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.19041.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.3.2651.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Bind a single key (not a key combination such as the default crtl+tab) to either nextTab or prevTab. I used f3 for prevTab and f4 for nextTab.
  2. Spawn multiple tabs.
  3. Either quickly press your new nextTab or prevTab keys consecutively, or press and hold them.

Expected behavior

Tab switching should work even if switching tabs quickly or holding down the respective keys.
I expect to be able to bind byobu-like keys to tab control, i.e. f2, f3, f4 and use them effectively.

Actual behavior

The application crashes.

Note: I suspect it has something to do with the tabs context menu that spawns when switching tabs.

While you wait for it, you can use PowerToys's Keyboard Manager to bind a key to ctrl+tab

thanks! but alas, PowerToys only support remapping keys globally.

Well this is bizarre - I can't seem to get this to repro with either 1.3.2651.0 or 1.5.3011.0 (a recent internal build off main). I threw the following in my actions:


        { "command": "prevTab", "keys": "f1" },
        { "command": "nextTab", "keys": "f2" },

and they seem to be working fine, albeit, if I hold them for too long, the window does glitch out for a bit and stop actually changing tabs, as if it can't keep up with the switching.

I suspect it has something to do with the tabs context menu that spawns when switching tabs.

anything in particular that makes you think this?

We've got a bunch of changes in the works for how the tab switcher operates, maybe this will just go away in 1.5?

@vvekic - can you please check if it still happens to you in 1.6 preview?
