VS Code Key Binding for quick switch between terminal screens?

Question

I\'m trying to figure out if there is a way to set up a key binding to allow a quick switch between the terminal windows I have open in the built in terminal rather than having

Answer 1

Here's the solution I built that works well for me on OSX.

It mimics the same shortcuts used in the editor to open new files (cmd+n) and switch between tabs (cmd+left|right) and the same shortcuts work for terminals when that view is in focus.

Hit cmd+shift+p and type keyboard to find Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts File

Add the following to the keybindings.json file and save it.

{
    "key": "cmd+alt+right",
    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.focusNext",
    "when": "terminalFocus"
},
{
    "key": "cmd+alt+left",
    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.focusPrevious",
    "when": "terminalFocus"
},
{
    "key": "cmd+n",
    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.new",
    "when": "terminalFocus"
},
{
    "key": "cmd+w",
    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.kill",
    "when": "terminalFocus"
}

It also does the same for closing terminals (cmd+w)
