Summary0002506: Ability to move an Active Tab to the ⮜ LEFT/RIGHT ⮞ by KEYS ⌨.
DescriptionPresently we can move tabs around by Drag-n-Drop only. :(
Feature Request: move an active tab to the left/right by keyboard ⌨, same as we can do in Firefox, Pale Moon, Geany, Sublime (with MoveTab plugin), etc.
Default shortcut could be CTRL+SHIFT+PAGEUP/DOWN (that's widespread).
This feature can be convenient when one have many open tabs.

Double Commander is great! :)
Additional InformationThis is very important to users!

Did you try to assign shortcuts to "cm_PrevTab" (CTRL+SHIFT+PGUP; default Ctrl+Shift+Tab) / "cm_NextTab" (CTRL+SHIFT+PGDN; default Ctrl+Tab)?

 Thank you for your reply.
No, no, please. Your suggestion is not about what I meant. I've uploaded an explanatory picture. Maybe better names for the feature should be
  ~ cm_ActiveTabShiftLeft,
  ~ cm_ActiveTabShiftRight.
Shifting tabs to the left/right (inside one panel) is extremely useful when one wants to group together the tabs that stay away of each other.
As far as I understand the situation with controls in Lazarus it is almost a trivia to implement on programming's level, - yet another couple of key-bindings and then all the standard boilerplate (two new cm_*, docs, etc.).
