I have the same workflow for switching between tabs, although on Mac the default keyboard shortcut for switching Terminal tabs (Cmd + Shift + '[' or ']') was a little too cumbersome. I swapped it out with (Cmd + '[') which by default will take you to the next Terminal, not tab. I move left to right more, so it made more sense for me.
Easy enough to change in system preferences, though. And with using Vim NERDtree, or some other directory plugin, it makes sitting at the top level directory of your project, with multiple projects in multiple tabs, pretty easy.
Are you on Mac? If so, have you done anything to make tab-switching easier/faster? I'm interested because I only recently set mine up this way, and am always open to more efficient methods.
- ripter 12y agoI'm on OSX using iTerm2. Cmd-1, Cmd-2, etc are how I switch between tabs. I keep specific things at specific numbers so it's easy to move around. For example, the project I'm working on is always tab 1, pianobar (terminal pandora client) is always tab 4. This is really nice because it's also how I switch tabs in Chrome. So both Chrome and iTerm have my current work on tab 1.
- twic 12y agoI am on Mac, and i have to confess i just use the trackpad to click on the tab like some sort of caveman. Although, now ripter has taught me that ⌘1 etc select tabs (i also use iTerm), i hope i'll switch to using that.
