Visual Studio 2019 - Move tab via keyboard

You can move tabs with my Tabs Studio extension. Assigning keyboard shortcuts to MoveTabLeft and MoveTabRight commands in the Navigator add-in.

This is what I found from trying other attempts

1. Gather Confidence!

2. Visual Studio Search; 'Ctrl + Q' a. type: "shortcuts" b. select: { abbreviation: "and keyboard shortcuts", relevantHierarchyShown: [ "Environment", "Keyboard" ]}, c. image: 3. Find Window.NextTab & Window.PreviousTab a. The current "Global" shortcuts for these are: [

   {
     command: "Window.NextTab", 
     shortcuts: [{
         shortcut: "Ctrl+Alt+PgDn",
         type: "Global"
       }],
   },
   {
     command: "Window.PreviousTab",
     shortcuts: [{
       shortcut: "Ctrl+Alt+PgUp",
       type: "Global"
     }],
   }
   

4. BrowserTab shortcut: Ctrl+PgDn & Ctrl+PgUp

   a. This -according to the docs page w/shortcuts- is already a backup or alternate shortcut- though I did not see it in the dropdown as an existing shortcut for Window.NextTab|PreviousTab.

   a1. But when I tried to use it as a global shortcut: it doesn't appear to cut through other commands for 'page up'/'page down' when inside of the text editor when I added the shorter shortcut from the browser;

   b. 'Ctrl+{PgDn|PgUp}' vs 'Ctrl+Alt+{PgDn|PgUp}: I'm sticking with VisualStudio's Default of 'Ctrl+Alt+{PgDn|PgUp}' because:

   a. its only one extra key from the familiar browser shortcut.

   b. I also attempted to execute "Window.NextTabandAdtoSelection" with 'Ctrl+Alt+Shift+{PgDn|PgUp}'
   but didn't quite see that work- I figured it would select multiple
   tabs, but not sure

Oops, misread.

There are commands available to move to another document group (eg. Window.MovetoNextTabGroup), but likely not to rearrange within a tab group or to create another tab group.

It might be possible to add this functionality with an extension.

Note, often the order of tabs in a group is separately controlled – eg. the (sadly not supported in VS2019) Custom Document Well extension.

I don't think any keys are mapped by default, but I routinely remap ctrl-PageUp and ctrl-PageDown to Window.PreviousTab and Window.NextTab respectively.
