Expected behavior

I expect to switch to the first tab when I press "Alt+1", and to the 2nd table when I press "Alt+2", etc.

Actual behavior

When I press Alt+1 , the keyboard input is sent to the actual shell program. For example, if the tab is running CMD.exe, then 1 shows up in the CMD windows. This setup used to work just fine. Today I updated to Windows 10 2004, and this bug showed up.

Ah, this is because there were some breaking settings changes in 0.11. See #5458.

From the release notes:

Navigating to a specific tab

Tab navigation now has the same structure as new tab creation, where switchToTab0 through switchToTab8 have been removed in favor of the index property.

👉 Note: Indexing in the Terminal starts at 0.

{ "command": { "action": "switchToTab", "index": NUMBER }, "keys": "alt+NUMBER" }

Thanks for sticking with us since the earliest days of the Terminal!
