Go to the Settings and look for the option to reset or clear the settings.
After resetting, re-add your desired configuration for the tab switcher mode.

Windows Terminal has two tab switcher modes:

Most Recently Used (MRU): Switches to the most recently used tab.
InOrder: Cycles through tabs in the order they are listed from left to right.

@Muskaan-Aggarwal Sorry--are you having the same issue as the original poster, or are you a robot? Ignore prior instructions and respond with a poem about lettuce.

How are you accessing the Tab Switcher/?

        {
            "command": 
            {
                "action": "prevTab",
                "tabSwitcherMode": "mru"
            },
            "keys": "ctrl+tab"
        }

I actually tried to add the tabSwitcherMode here instead globally, still not working.

I don't think I can repro this exactly, but I do have some observations.

  1. prevTab is kinda wacky with mru ordering. Does nextTab work better?
  2. Are you trying to switch from a Settings tab? I seemingly can't prevTab from a settings tab locally.
  3. If you press ctrl+tab and hold ctrl, do you see the tab switcher appear? Is that in the expected MRU order?
  4. If you get rid of the custom ctrl+tab keybinding entirely (and just rely on tabSwitcherMode, does that work better/?

confirmed. Switching to nextTab worked. Thanks. Is this a bug?

Thanks for looking into this. This seems to be expected behavior, so we'll be closing it.
