Move tab from one column to another in Sublime Text using only keys

Question

Does anyone know this shortcut? I'm looking for it online, but I can't seem to find it

Answer 1

To move it is CTRLSHIFT1 to move to Group 0, CTRLSHIFT2 to Group 1, and so on - that's on Linux, Windows, and OSX.

Text buffers can also be moved to their neighbouring groups:

• Linux, Windows:
  • CTRLk + CTRLSHIFTLEFT
  • CTRLk + CTRLSHIFTRIGHT
• OSX
  • SUPERk + SUPERSHIFTLEFT
  • SUPERk + SUPERSHIFTRIGHT

Here's the whole group section of my Default (Linux).sublime-keymap - the Windows keys are all exactly the same, while the OSX keys are the same in the top section but differ in the bottom section, below where I have placed an explanatory comment.

// The keys BELOW are for Linux, Windows, and OSX.

{ "keys": ["ctrl+1"], "command": "focus_group", "args": { "group": 0 } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+2"], "command": "focus_group", "args": { "group": 1 } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+3"], "command": "focus_group", "args": { "group": 2 } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+4"], "command": "focus_group", "args": { "group": 3 } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+5"], "command": "focus_group", "args": { "group": 4 } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+6"], "command": "focus_group", "args": { "group": 5 } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+7"], "command": "focus_group", "args": { "group": 6 } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+8"], "command": "focus_group", "args": { "group": 7 } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+9"], "command": "focus_group", "args": { "group": 8 } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+1"], "command": "move_to_group", "args": { "group": 0 } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+2"], "command": "move_to_group", "args": { "group": 1 } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+3"], "command": "move_to_group", "args": { "group": 2 } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+4"], "command": "move_to_group", "args": { "group": 3 } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+5"], "command": "move_to_group", "args": { "group": 4 } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+6"], "command": "move_to_group", "args": { "group": 5 } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+7"], "command": "move_to_group", "args": { "group": 6 } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+8"], "command": "move_to_group", "args": { "group": 7 } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+9"], "command": "move_to_group", "args": { "group": 8 } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+0"], "command": "focus_side_bar" },

// The keys BELOW are for Linux and Windows only.
//
// The OSX keys all use 'super' instead of 'ctrl'.
//
// e.g. In the top command use: ["super+k", "super+up"]
// e.g. In the bottom command use: ["super+k", "super+shift+right"]

{ "keys": ["ctrl+k", "ctrl+up"], "command": "new_pane" },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+k", "ctrl+shift+up"], "command": "new_pane", "args": {"move": false} },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+k", "ctrl+down"], "command": "close_pane" },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+k", "ctrl+left"], "command": "focus_neighboring_group", "args": {"forward": false} },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+k", "ctrl+right"], "command": "focus_neighboring_group" },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+k", "ctrl+shift+left"], "command": "move_to_neighboring_group", "args": {"forward": false} },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+k", "ctrl+shift+right"], "command": "move_to_neighboring_group" },

Hope this helps.

If you mean rearranging the tabs within the same group, there's a good plugin called MoveTab

My keybindings Sublime Text --> Preferences --> Key Bindings (User) -->

{
    "keys": ["super+alt+shift+["],
    "command": "move_tab",
    "args": { "position": "-1" }
},
{
    "keys": ["super+alt+shift+]"],
    "command": "move_tab",
    "args": { "position": "+1" }
}

Allows CMD+Shift+Option+[ and CMD+Shift+Option+]

If you have Package Control you can install via CMD+Shift+P --> Install Package --> MoveTab

import sublime, sublime_plugin

class DualViewMoveTo(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
    def run(self):
            self.window.run_command('set_layout', { "cols": [0.0, 0.5, 1.0], "rows": [0.0, 1.0], "cells": [[0, 0, 1, 1], [1, 0, 2, 1]] })
            self.window.run_command('focus_group', { "group": 0 })
            self.window.run_command('move_to_group', { "group": 1 })

There's an excellent plugin offered by Sublime Text itself called Origami, it allows you to create new panes(Columns), delete panes, move and clone views(Tabs) from pane to pane. You can easily shift tabs between a split view using this plugin. Also if you just reorder the tabs in a single pane then Sublime Text offers another good plugin called Move​Tab.
