Jump to Last Pane with Keybinding
Add a keyboard shortcut to focus the rightmost pane instantly
The new workspace::ActivateLastPane action lets you bind a keyboard shortcut that always focuses the rightmost pane, providing a predictable navigation target.
How to Use
Add this to your keymap.json:
{
"bindings": {
"cmd-9": "workspace::ActivateLastPane"
}
}Now pressing Cmd-9 always jumps to the last (rightmost) pane in your current window.
Why This Matters
Predictable navigation: Unlike numbered pane actions, this never creates new panes.
Stable target: Always focuses the rightmost pane regardless of how many panes exist.
Complements existing shortcuts: Works well with Cmd-1 through Cmd-8 for other panes.
No side effects: Pure focus action - never splits or modifies your layout.
Comparison with ActivatePane
workspace::ActivatePane with an index can create/split panes when the index doesn’t exist. ActivateLastPane is focus-only and never modifies your pane layout.
This is perfect for users who want a reliable “jump to rightmost pane” shortcut similar to terminal or browser tab navigation patterns.
