Hey folks, does anyone know if it's possible to permanently disable "copy mode". I used to use CMD+SHIFT+ARROW LEFT/RIGHT to switch between tabs (MacOS) but now it opens "Copy Mode" which is beyond useless to me.

George,

I just noticed that the tooltip for this choice is just a copy of the smart selection tooltip and does not describe copy mode.

Cheers,

-Jan
