No way to select tab by mouse if hidden

JSiuDev

If there are many tabs(pinned or not), there seems to be no way to select them by mouse. There is no overflow drop down nor left/right arrow icon in the tab bar.

Can we improve this?

Hey @JSiuDev you can scroll on the tabs bar (either with your mouse or with two finger swipe horizontally on the trackpad).

Doesn't that work?

akshatpatel I don't use track pad. With mouse I can drag the tab to change order, but how do I scroll left and right? I am using a 3-button mouse.

⇧+scroll should allow you to scroll horizontally on most applications and websites. Also, please let us know if akshatpatel 's suggestion of normal scrolling doesn't work for scrolling through the tabs.

Using the normal vertical scroll wheel on a mouse should scroll left / right when your mouse pointer is hovering over the tab bar.

Thx @laiz @akshatpatel ! Learn something for Mac, LOL! It works! We can close this.

I learnt something new as well haha... I wrote code in the tabs scroll view which converts vertical scroll events to horizontal events so that you can scroll horizontally even with a "normal" vertical scroll wheel on your mouse. But I never knew Shift + scroll is a thing on mac 🫣
