What's the command for going to next jump spot (<Tab> or <C-I> functionality)?

I am using Tab to toggle window focus via nnoremap <Tab> :wincmd w<CR>.

This means I can no longer use <Tab> to move forward in the jump list. (Often used in conjunction with <C-O> whivh moves backward in jump list)

What is the colon command to jump next, so I can bind this to a less important key than its original key (Tab)?

You can just remap <tab> to something else.

For example you could remap <Tab> to `

nnoremap ` <Tab>

This will keep the original functionality of the tab for going forward in the jump list.

You should use <C-i>, it's more consistent with than <Tab>.

Anyway, <C-i> is the same as <Tab> so mapping <Tab> effectively covers both <tab> and <C-i>. But that's irrelevant.

There's unfortunately no jumplist-related Ex command besides :jumps so I'm afraid you'll need to write your own function/command or abandon that mapping.
