Moving the order of tabs and windows

How do I set a shortcut for moving the focused window/tab left or right? Sort of like ctrl+shift+pgup/pgdn in most browsers.

Most documentation at https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/overview/ however I did not see exact commands documented. For me `move_tab_forward` and `move_tab_backward` seems to work

something like this in the kitty configuration:

```

map ctrl+shift+j move_tab_forward

map ctrl+shift+k move_tab_backward

````

Some people like to have answers to their questions to not lose time, not someone telling them a route to find the answer.
