@Saiteja341 There is! There's already the moveTab actions: Move tab

f30cbef34d/src/cascadia/TerminalSettingsModel/defaults.json (L387-L388)

I'm going to close this one as fixed, since those have been there for a few years now.

Closing this, as we can add custom action shortcut for 'Move' from settings.
