Thanks, now it's much better.

It's very strange that your configuration has unbound other-tab-prefix.
By default, it's bound to 'C-x t t'.

Please keep them as they are.  It's very convenient
to bind these commands to use the same prefix keys
that are configured by windmove customization
(that was greatly improved recently!)
