Request: command-shift-[ and command-shift-] to select next or previous tab, respectively
Please enable the following shortcut:
command-shift-[ - Next tab
command-shift-] - Previous tab
Every major application, like Terminal, Finder, Chrome, has this shortcut and I find it incredibly useful. The problem is even subconsciously try to use it in Vimr.
What about ctl+tab?
ctrl-tab and ctrl-shift-tab also works, but it's stupidly awkward to press. Support both I guess.
You can try adding these mappings to your init.vim:
if has('gui_vimr')
nnoremap <S-D-{> :tabp<CR>
vnoremap <S-D-{> :tabp<CR>
inoremap <S-D-{> :tabp<CR>
nnoremap <S-D-}> :tabn<CR>
vnoremap <S-D-}> :tabn<CR>
inoremap <S-D-}> :tabn<CR>
endif
@fanzeyi This is a good workaround for now, but it doesn't compare to a native UI support since you can't use these mappings in insert mode.
Also I'm a little disappointed that the tabs aren't actual UI tabs. You can't drag them around; so you can't do neat shortcuts like drag a tab from one window to another.
+1 for this feature. I'd love to see gui tab support like MacVim has. I'm experimenting with switching and this is quite a hurdle. I am so accustomed to cmd-shift-[ and ]. fanzeyi's workaround works and I could get used to vim tabs I suppose. :)
