I know that you can switch tabs with shift cmd [arrow key] in Mac Terminal, but it is painful to reach the arrow key. How can I change the default keybinding?

You can change key bindings for almost all Cocoa apps in System Preferences, including Terminal.app. Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts, then add a new shortcut for Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities). |

1: Install SIMBL (plugin enabler): http://www.culater.net/software/SIMBL/SIMBL.php 2: Install the TerminalTabSwitching.bundle
3: Restart the Terminal app, and enjoy FYI: If something like (1) Open
using your favorite text editor under (2) Search For (3) Change (4) Quit terminal and reopen it. Hopefully that prompt would disappear and you can use |

cmd brace will also switch tabs. |

If you don't mind downloading new software, I recommend iTerm 2: http://www.iterm2.com/#/section/home It not only allows rebinding keys almost arbitrarily plus fast switching between tabs with cmd+TabNumber (or your favorite meta key), but quite a few other nifty features as well. (I would post a screen shot, but I'm new around here). |
