Shortcut for focusing different terminal window
Answered
Hi, in previous version of Intellij, I've had a shortcut for switching between build-in terminal tabs. However, this seems to have been removed in the version 2026.1.1 (or maybe on version before).
Maybe it was just renamed and I can't find it? I'm looking for something like “focus next/previous terminal tab”.
I've found “move tab left/right” but that moves the tab, instead of focusing on the next one.

There isn’t (and never really was) a dedicated “Next/Previous Terminal Tab” action. IntelliJ treats terminal tabs like tool window tabs, not editor tabs—so the shortcut comes from more generic navigation actions.

Hello Dipakosikotes
Yes, that’s basically correct.
Just to make it a little clearer for others reading this: there is no separate action like Next/Previous Terminal Tab in the specific Terminal keymap, but indeed Terminal widgets do have next/previous tab callbacks, but they are fed by the generic shared Editor tab actions (Main | Window | Editor Tabs | Select Next Tab / Select Previous Tab).
So, if the shortcut needs to be customized, you need to edit the general Editor Next/Previous tabs actions.
The fix worked, thank you Monica.
A pleasure to help PetrK!
