ActivateTab

Activate the tab specified by the argument value. eg: 0 activates the leftmost tab, while 1 activates the second tab from the left, and so on.

Since: Version 20200620-160318-e00b076c

The functionality described in this section requires version 20200620-160318-e00b076c of wezterm, or a more recent version.

ActivateTab now accepts negative numbers; these wrap around from the start of the tabs to the end, so -1 references the right-most tab, -2 the tab to its left and so on.

local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
local act = wezterm.action
local config = {}

config.keys = {}
for i = 1, 8 do
  -- CTRL+ALT + number to activate that tab
  table.insert(config.keys, {
    key = tostring(i),
    mods = 'CTRL|ALT',
    action = act.ActivateTab(i - 1),
  })
  -- F1 through F8 to activate that tab
  table.insert(config.keys, {
    key = 'F' .. tostring(i),
    action = act.ActivateTab(i - 1),
  })
end

return config
