  2. Open Settings → Community Plugins → TabJump (click gear icon)
  3. Assign hotkeys directly in the plugin settings, or go to Settings → Hotkeys → Search "TabJump"
  4. Use the assigned hotkeys to:
    • Toggle between your two most recent tabs
    • Move the current tab left or right in the tab bar

Commands

  • Switch to last active tab (tabjump:switch)
  • Move current tab left (tabjump:move-tab-left)
  • Move current tab right (tabjump:move-tab-right)
