Add commands for moving WindowTabs tabs left/right

[pioio]

Please add commands that would move WindowTabs left and right (to rearrange them).
This would allow creating keyboard shortcuts, and would allow quickly and easily re-arranging the window tabs (workspaces).
This would, in turn, be very helpful for users working with multiple workspaces in a single window.

Context:
We already have the ability to add keybindings to switch window tabs:
workbench.action.showNextWindowTab
workbench.action.showPreviousWindowTab

But currently there's no ability to move the WindowTabs around (left/right) using the keyboard. One has to drag-and-drop them, which is very inconvenient if one's IDE setup focuses on keyboard-only navigation.

Note, I'm not talking about editor tabs. We do have actions for moving those around:
workbench.action.moveEditorLeftInGroup
workbench.action.moveEditorRightInGroup

What needs to be added is like:
workbench.action.moveWindowTabLeft
workbench.action.moveWindowTabRight

@pioio are you sure this concept exists on macOS? For example, in the finder I am not seeing moving related commands available when I have 1 window with 2 tabs opened:

We would need to know the menu selector for such a command, maybe @deepak1556 you know?

Menu.sendActionToFirstResponder('moveTabToNewWindow:');

Don't see an api that lets to achieve the required move operations https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nswindow/tabbedwindows?language=objc#Managing-Window-Tabs

Then this will be hard to support without macOS adding it.

Hmm, I wasn't aware the windowTabs are handle by the OS on MacOS...

One, purely theoretical, way around this would be to swap the state of the windows/processes (rather than move tabs around). But I wouldn't be surprised if this was tricky to do.

Another, probably also tricky, way would be to do it in the way Chrome does it -- moving "browser tabs" in chrome on MacOS with keyboard shortcuts is possible (though it requires a add-on), but they probably have their custom mechanism for that for moving state between the windows.

Yeah, sorry.
