The Tab Switcher provides a quick way to navigate between open tabs in Zed. It
displays a list of your open tabs sorted by recent usage, making it easy to jump
back to whatever you were just working on.

## Quick Switching

When the Tab Switcher is opened using `tab_switcher::Toggle`, instead of
running the `tab_switcher::Toggle` from the command palette, it'll stay
active as long as the <kbd class="keybinding">ctrl</kbd> key is held down.

While holding down <kbd class="keybinding">ctrl</kbd>, each subsequent <kbd
class="keybinding">tab</kbd> press cycles to the next item (<kbd
class="keybinding">shift</kbd> to cycle backwards) and, when <kbd
class="keybinding">ctrl</kbd> is released, the selected item is confirmed and
the switcher is closed.

## Opening the Tab Switcher

The Tab Switcher can also be opened with either `tab_switcher::Toggle` (`tab_switcher::Toggle`)
or `tab_switcher::ToggleAll` (`tab_switcher::ToggleAll`).

While the Tab Switcher is open, you can:

- Press `menu::SelectNext` to move to the next tab in the list
- Press `menu::SelectPrevious` to move to the previous tab
- Press `menu::Confirm` to confirm the selected tab and close the switcher
- Press `menu::Cancel` to close the switcher and return to the original tab from which
  the switcher was opened
- Press `tab_switcher::CloseSelectedItem` to close the currently selected tab

As you navigate through the list, Zed will update the pane's active item to
match the selected tab.
