switching between vscode editor tabs using python code

Question

I want to take screenshot of the screen while one vscode tab is open(for example on the screen there is a text file) and when I'm done, I want to switch to a different tab and take screenshot of the screen. How can I switch between vscode editor tabs using python code if possible?

You should know that creating screenshots of text is one of the sore spots of many SO users. — Klaus D.

In Vscode, we can use :

Alt + number
Ctrl + Tab

to switch to different tabs. When running the following code, Ctrl key will keep pressed until finish, and using Tab and Enter key, we can switch to different tabs.

from pykeyboard import PyKeyboard
import time

k = PyKeyboard()
num = 5 # num of tabs
k.press_key(k.control_key)
for i in range(num):
    k.tap_key(k.tab_key, n=i+1, interval=1)
    k.tap_key(k.enter_key)
    time.sleep(10)
k.release_key(k.control_key)
