Describe the bug
mac: cmd <- or cmd -> may not work for the current active tab. e.g. if the current app is waiting for stdin.
To reproduce
i just have a command line code that reads from stdin. now cmd <- or -> does not work. i cannot switch to another tab. i believe i saw other cases too.

Does this block you from using Warp daily?
No
Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)
No, this same issue happens in Warp and other terminals.

Hi @fuyun The default tab-switching shortcuts are as follows:
Activate the Previous or Next Tab with SHIFT-CMD-{ or SHIFT-CMD-}.
Activate the first through eighth Tabs with CMD-1 thru CMD-8
Please learn more about this in our docs. https://docs.warp.dev/features/windows/tabs
If this doesnt help with your issue, if you can please send video of the issue along with screenshot of your settings for the "Activate Tab" keyboard shortcuts settings.
@dannyneira, can you please confirm that the tab-switching shortcuts are designed to not work when the "cursor section" is active? For example, when I am entering text on the command line, the keyboard shortcuts to switch tabs do not work, whereas if I click a previous execution block (a block that is highlighted), they do work.
Tab-switching keyboard shortcuts work:
Tab-switching keyboard shortcuts DO NOT work:
Additionally, if I navigate from one tab to another and the "cursor section" becomes active, I cannot continue to switch tabs. That is, I can only switch them one at a time, clicking out of the "cursor section" each time to be able to KB nav.
This is broken again. once you run a long running command, tab switching stops working in the tab.
Hi @fuyun, thanks for reporting! For your specific case when trying to assign cmd-left and cmd-right to change tabs, does it work if you clear any conflicts from the keybindings?
To clear conflicts, you can go to the keyboard settings page and search for "cmd left/right" to find any existing keybindings that use this shortcut.
You can click on the "clear" button to clear any conflicting keybindings.
