Originally created by @Malnasser on GitHub (Oct 31, 2019).

I would like to switch between tabs by keyboard shortcuts with "Ctrl + ➡" to switch to tabs in the right and "Ctrl + ⬅" to switch to tabs in the left.

I would like to develop it by myself if this is possible" 😁

I'm pretty sure this is already possible, if you add the following keybindings:

        { "command": "nextTab", "keys": ["ctrl+right"] },
        { "command": "prevTab", "keys": ["ctrl+left"] },

@zadjii-msft can we have this by default with the right hand Ctrl key?

I'm not totally sure we can differentiate between the two, though @lhecker can correct me if I'm wrong.

Even if we can, I'd be inclined to not add this as a default, simply because some shell applications (like powershell, cmd) already use ctrl+arrow as a "move-by-word" shortcut, and I'm fairly certain they don't differentiate between left vs right control. Additionally, we already have ctrl+tab/ctrl+shift+tab bound to these actions.

I see! I didn't know about ctrl+tab/ctrl+shift+tab!
In this case, I would agree with you.

@zadjii-msft We can differentiate between them. It's just that the code related to settings doesn't support this yet.
