Q:

Switching tab using conemu GuiMacro Tab() function does not work

I have the following conemu GuiMacro's defined
<F9>   - Tab(3)
<F10>  - Tab(2)

When I press the keys, I see the previous/next tab being highlighted in the tab bar, but the highlighted tab is not being activated - i.e. keyboard input remains in the current tab. I want F10 & F9 to work like CtrlTab and CtrlShiftTab - i.e. the contents of the new tab should be shown and it should receive keyboard input. How would I do that?

A:

May be the Tab() GuiMacro function does what it's supposed to. Looks like there is a distinction between Tab and Console in ConEmu. To do what I want you need to switch console, not tab.
There is a simple workaround. Simply map F9 and F10 to the Switch next console and Switch previous console User hotkeys.
