cannot get "mru" switcher working
Windows Terminal version
Version: 1.20.11781.0
Windows build number
10.0.22631.0
Other Software
No response
Steps to reproduce
brand new windows 11 installation, after setting "tabSwitcherMode": "mru" globally, the tab switcher is still in "inOrder" mode.
Expected Behavior
mru mode
Actual Behavior
still inOrder mode
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.
Could you share your whole settings.json file/?

I don't think I can repro this exactly, but I do have some observations.
prevTabis kinda wacky withmruordering. DoesnextTabwork better?- Are you trying to switch from a Settings tab? I seemingly can't
prevTabfrom a settings tab locally. - If you press ctrl+tab and hold ctrl, do you see the tab switcher appear? Is that in the expected MRU order?
- 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?

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