Thank you Microsoft, this is such an awesome project, the coolest terminal i've ever encountered, but I have this problem. Usually I don't want to rely on using mouse, or even touchpad, because it hurts my finger, because I only want to use the keyboard to navigate anything. In chrome and probably many other apps i know, the basic command to CREATE, MOVE and Close between tab is like this:

CTRL+Pgdn: move tab right
CTRL+Pgdn: move tab left
CTRL+t: Create new tab
CTRL+w: close tab

Thanks for the suggestion! You can actually bind these actions to whatever keys you want in your settings.json. Most of these actions are bound to keys by default:

{ "command": "closePane", "keys": "ctrl+shift+w" },
{ "command": "newTab", "keys": "ctrl+shift+t" },
{ "command": "nextTab", "keys": "ctrl+tab" },
{ "command": "prevTab", "keys": "ctrl+shift+tab" },

Moving tabs isn't bound to a key, but it is in Preview with the following actions:

        { "command": { "action" : "moveTab", "direction": "forward" }},
        { "command": { "action" : "moveTab", "direction": "backward" }},

You can feel free to bind those actions to whatever keys you'd like, and make sure to check out the docs for more details

Doesn't seem to have been published to Microsoft Store yet.

Oh, That might be wrong. That's in main, not preview. #8338 is not in preview yet. My mistake!
