@Saiteja341 There is! There's already the moveTab actions: Move tab

terminal/src/cascadia/TerminalSettingsModel/defaults.json

Lines 387 to 388 in f30cbef

	{ "command": { "action" : "moveTab", "direction": "forward" }},
	{ "command": { "action" : "moveTab", "direction": "backward" }},

I'm going to close this one as fixed, since those have been there for a few years now.

Closing this, as we can add custom action shortcut for 'Move' from settings.
