Description of the new feature

Basically as title says - I would liek to use tradiitonal navigaiton and with seperate windows tab switcher while using different keyboard shortcuts

Proposed technical implementation details

By default - ctrl+tab and ctrl+shift+tab switches between opened tabs with the default tab switcher set up, how about ctrl+` and ctrl+shift+` or any other shorctut which you can customize to use alternative method. I switch between tabs with ctrl+tab and ctrl+` by default, as I don't want to hold another key to switch between tabs, I'd just confiogure it in a way, you just hold shift for either key combination (ctrl+shift+tab or ctrl+shift+`) to switch between tabs with seperate window.

You should be able to do this by adding key bindingslike this to your JSON file (in the actions section).

FWIW, this is configured to use Ctrl+` for forward motion and Ctrl+Shift+` for backward motion in order with no separate window, but you can change the bindings to be whatever you'd like.

// "actions": [
// ...
	{ "command": { "action": "nextTab", "tabSwitcherMode": "disabled" }, "keys": "ctrl+`" },
	{ "command": { "action": "prevTab", "tabSwitcherMode": "disabled" }, "keys": "ctrl+shift+`" },
// ...
// ],

You can find more docs about the bindable actions and their options here.

Does that help/?
