The release notes of https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases/tag/v1.5.3142.0 describe the following:

  • The tab switcher is now more flexible: you can use it in Most-Recently Used (MRU) order, in tabstrip order, or not at all (#8076)
    • There's a new global setting, tabSwitcherMode, which supports the following enumerated values: mru, inOrder or disabled

But the global setting that one needs to change in this version is useTabSwitcher and not tabSwitcherMode

I'm pretty sure both settings will actually work
d5bfd237e5/src/cascadia/TerminalSettingsModel/GlobalAppSettings.cpp (L40-L41)
d5bfd237e5/src/cascadia/TerminalSettingsModel/GlobalAppSettings.cpp (L290-L294)

They both end up deserializing to the same member. Is tabSwitcherMode not working for you?

Is `tabSwitcherMode` _not_ working for you?
