Say I want to place one tab next to another. Currently I do this by clicking and dragging. This increases productivity because if I'm switching between 2 regular tasks in iTerm I want to place the tabs next to each other so I can switch between them quickly.

I can switch between tabs using keyboard shortcuts cmd+} and cmd+{.

But is there a way to move tabs around using keyboard shortcuts?
