Allow instantaneous tab switching again

[sboukortt]

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [version 10.0.19041.508]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.3.2651.0

Steps to reproduce

1. Bind a shortcut to action “prevTab” or “nextTab”. (In my case, the shortcuts are “shift+left” and “shift+right” respectively.)

2. With several tabs open, execute the shortcut.

Expected behavior

The tab switches as soon as the key (“left” or “right” for me) is pressed down, as used to be the case from what I remember.

Actual behavior

The tab doesn’t change until the modifier key (e.g. “shift”) of the shortcut is released. Instead, while it is held, a menu like this is presented, and left/right in my example only change the selection in the menu:

Presumably, the change is intentional, so maybe some people like it more, but I really don’t (I can’t quickly glance at the tabs’ contents as I go through them) and I would really like if the old behavior were at least be accessible via a global setting.

Thanks.

Set "useTabSwitcher": false in your profile and you will get the old behaviour.

Oh, I was redirected to the fr-ch version of the documentation on global settings and not the en-us one, and so I didn’t see that option (the translation doesn’t list it). Thanks for pointing it out.
