How to switch tabs in Windows Terminal

Windows Terminal is very versatile shell for Windows which allows to run CMD, PowerShell or Linux in WSL2. The terminal also supports tabs.

To switch between tabs you can use:

  • CTRL+Tab – switch to next tab
  • CTRL+Shift+Tab – switch to previous tab
  • If you’d like to use own keyboard shortcuts like CTRL+PgUp, CTRL+PgDown, then just open Settings CTRL+, and enter following code into section actions:

    ..."actions":  [
     ...
      { "command": "nextTab", "keys": "ctrl+pgdn" },
      { "command": "prevTab", "keys": "ctrl+pgup" }
     ...
    ]
