If you mean the behavior of Ctrl-Tab, yes, that's confusing for me too. But you can switch using the order shown on screen though, by using Alt-Left / Alt-Right.

Can I also press a button to swap those keybindings back to the old behaviour so I don't have to work against my own muscle memory?

Or better, can I tell it to switch tabs on Spacebar-l and Spacebar-h like I have it setup in Vim? I often wonder if it's too demanding to expect keybinding flexibility that was available decades ago. I get that it's a niche use, but then again it's marketed towards professionals and power users.
