Change tabs only in current group/pane - sublimetext2

Question

I am working on a big display with high resolution, thus I work in multiple groups/panes as it is more productive (imho). I switch tabs using ctrl + tab and groups/panes using ctrl + 1 to 9. I want to 'lock' the ctrl + tab to current group/pane so it would not select tabs in another panes.
I really want that functionality but can't think of a way to achieve this. Is it possible to do this?

You can use a simple plugin to do it.
import sublime
import sublime_plugin
class ChangeViewCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
def run(self, reverse=False):
window = self.window
group, view_index = window.get_view_index(window.active_view())
if view_index >= 0:
views = window.views_in_group(group)
if reverse:
if view_index == 0:
view_index = len(views)
if reverse:
new_index = view_index - 1
else:
new_index = (view_index + 1) % len(views)
window.focus_view(views[new_index])
Then add the following to your user key bindings.
{ "keys": ["ctrl+tab"], "command": "change_view" },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+tab"], "command": "change_view", "args": { "reverse": true } }
For focus group, there are already commands to go to groups 1 - 4, but you can add the following to go further (simply change the key binding number and group number)
{ "keys": ["ctrl+1"], "command": "focus_group", "args": { "group": 0 } }
