Issue-Feature Complex enough to require an in depth planning process and actual budgeted, scheduled work. Needs-Attention The core contributors need to come back around and look at this ASAP. Needs-Triage It's a new issue that the core contributor team needs to triage at the next triage meeting Resolution-Duplicate There's another issue on the tracker that's pretty much the same thing.

Description of the new feature/enhancement

It would be useful to have a means to perform the equivalent to Ctrl+Shift+A in browsers such as Edge: pop-up a list of running tabs, with a search box so that it's easy to switch to another tab when 😜 you have (too 🙃?) many tabs open.

(Amazing, that Edge feature is not listed at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/keyboard-shortcuts-in-microsoft-edge-50d3edab-30d9-c7e4-21ce-37fe2713cfad nor at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/devtools-guide-chromium/shortcuts/)

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Some issue from like, 2 years ago when we added this. I was being lazy and not looking it up 😝

Thanks for the pointers, and sorry for the duplicate.

For some reason I couldn't find the feature when searching for "search tabs" prior to creating my issue.

The Command Palette doesn't make that discoverable.

Once you know that this is an action that can be bound to a key, and that it's name starts with the word "Search", you can use the feature.

😜

BTW, I have the feeling I'll be using this way more often than the "Switch to tab, index:N" actions. Probably 'cos the tab order is by no means guaranteed to be the same from one session to the next (as opposed to the Windows taskbar-pinned shortcuts)?

YMMV, of course.

BTW, just discovered that searching for "too" matches "new_payment_solution"

Quite unexpected if you ask me...
