Description

#2429 requests supporting wrapping around of tab movement. This will break the functionality of 99>> or 99<<. Instead, I propose adding the following bindings for moving tabs to first/last:

  • g>>: move to last
  • g<<: move to start

If this would be entertained, I am happy to write the feature myself :) let me know!

Research direction

Start by reading issue #2429 and tracing the existing tab-movement commands and key bindings. Check how wrapping would affect 99>> and 99<<, then verify that g>> moves a tab to last and g<< moves it to first without breaking existing behavior.
