How can you map .ideavimrc to switch between tabs in Intellij

Question

In intellij with the vim plugin. I am trying to switch between tabs from within from rather than using intellij's default setup of alt+left and alt+right to switch between tabls. I would like to map Control+H to Alt+left arrow. And also Control+L to Alt+right arrow.

What would I put into my .ideavimrc file?

Answer 1

You can change the mapping to switch between tabs using Idea or ideaVim as follows

The Idea way

• Settings > Keymap
• Search for select next tab
• Change the mapping to what you like

The ideaVim way

• Open search everywhere > Actions

• Type track action id and enable the corresponding option

• Type select next tab and run the corresponding action

• You will find the action id at the left bottom. Add it to .ideavimrc like

  nmap <c-l> <Action>(NextTab)
