Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/electerm/electerm/issues/816

Electerm version: 0.24.39

Operating system(linux, macos, or windows?): Windows

Expected Behavior

Using a keyboard shortcut (ie: Ctrl+Tab, Command+Tab), I can switch between multiple session tabs without reaching for the mouse, like a text editor or web browser.

Current Behavior

To switch between sessions, I need to use the mouse to click on the tab itself to switch to another session.

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce

Open an SSH session
Open a second SSH session
Try to switch between sessions back and forth, this requires mouse.

Context (Environment)

I am often switching between SSH sessions for multiple hosts. I would like to be able to switch between sessions without reaching for the mouse :)

Detailed Description

Provide a keyboard shortcut to allow switching between session tabs. Bonus is it's a configurable shortcut.

Suggestions?
