This is a plugin, originally taken from the yazi site. I made it a standalone plugin for ease of use.

Installation

ya pkg add DaBuddhalint/smart-switch

Usage

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on   = "2"
run  = "plugin smart-switch 1"
desc = "Switch or create tab 2"

[[mgr.prepend_keymap]]
on   = "3"
run  = "plugin smart-switch 2"
desc = "Switch or create tab 3"
