Activate a specific tab in a specific pane(l)

[497e0bdf29873]

I would like to bind, e.g., cmd-1 , cmd-2, etc., to activate a tab in the main pane, and cmd-shift-1, cmd-shift-2, etc. to activate a tab in the terminal panel. This is needed to be able to swittch quickly, with a single key combination, to an actual terminal while, e.g., a build is running as a task in a newly opened tab in the terminal panel.

Even with key sequence emulation, this does not seem currently possible: the only way I can find to switch focus to the terminal panel, or away from it, is through terminal_panel::ToggleFocus. As a toggle, this will not work.

To be able to create this kind of keybindings, at the minimum a terminal_panel::activate would be required. This would still require far from ideal key sequence emulation, and otherwise unused fake keybindings for that (cmd-alt-shift-1, etc.), so a better solution would be to properly support binding command sequences to keys: ["sequence", "terminal_panel::activate", ["pane::ActivateItem", 0]]. An alternative would be to add ["workspace::ActivatePaneAndItem", pane-number, tab-number"].

Would either of the latter be possible?

PS. On another note, I have already bound the default tab-switching keys ctrl-1 to desktop switching, probably as something I learned from some X11 window manager back in the day. So I first tried to bind ctrl-shift-1 etc., but they don't bind. ctrl-! (the same key on my keyboard) binds, but then the bindings become language-specific, so very impractical.
