How can I switch to a different tab group using the keyboard in visual studio 2013
For Visual Studio 2017/2019, I created an open-source extension to do this:
It by default adds two keyboard shortcuts:
Tools.NavigateTabGroups.Next
(CTRL+SHIFT+Right
) to move to the next tab groupTools.NavigateTabGroups.Previous
(CTRL+SHIFT+Left
) to move to the previous group
There are six commands altogether (all of which can be assigned shortcuts):
This is possible using the VSStreamliner extension. Only caveat is that the lastet version I know of is for VS2010. Fortunately, there's a hack-around -- I have gotten it to work with VS2015.
Download VSStreamliner.
Edit the extension's version to match your version of Visual Studio, as described here.
Install the version-hacked extension. This provides commands
Window.NextDocumentUp, Window.NextDocumentDown, Window.NextDocumentLeft
andWindow.NextDocumentRight
.In VS, go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard, and set your desired keybindings to those commands. [Emacs users: For some reason "C-x o" didn't work. (Maybe VS doesn't like two-stroke bindings?), so I used "M-o" and "M-p" for
NextDocumentDown
andNextDocumentUp
respectively.]
