It would be handy to have shortcuts for the following:
P.S: Looks like a similar feature raised before by someone has been deleted/closed. So raising a new one.
I believe the best would be ctrl+(Shift+)tab on a Mac as that’s what Firefox (and chrome) uses. Option+tab makes sense in my head, but that’s already a global hotkey I think
Ctrl is used for other page shifting in macOS like ctrl+L/R for different desktops, so that’s another reason
Duplicate tab by option+mouse drag would also be a great addition
njohnathan I think you are talking about changing the focus of current tab. I am talking about moving the tab or changing the tab order. So I am not sure tab would make sense. Tab makes sense if you want to switch tabs (eg Ctrl Tab and Ctrl Shift Tab).
Or have I misunderstood your suggestion?
njohnathan Actually, a command palette usually Cmd+Shift+P in most apps (like in Vs Code or sublime text) would help quickly searching for command and actions in cases when assigning a shortcut is not easy. Not sure if a feature request has been made for a command palette.
BO yes you are correct I misread your post at first. I still agree that your idea is a useful one, but the hotkeys you’ve suggested are the standards for changing tab focus on both Firefox and chromium, so I think they would be better served that way
I think you are using Windows which is why you are relating Ctrl+Shift+Left to switching tabs. On Mac, generally it is Cmd+Alt+Left. But yeah whatever the key combination is, we need the functionality first and we can assign shortcut we want.
BO on macOS, Firefox and Chrome/Chromium use ctrl+tab for next tab & ctrl+shift+tab for tab back/left. Safari/Orion (WebKit?) use cmd+opt+arrow keys allows you to move through tabs (you have just taught me this)
Yes, I agree that regardless of what the key combo you use, functionality first, and allow customization of hotkey. Personally I use a macro, so I don’t really care what the combo is as long as one can be set
Thank you very much, I really hated that I couldn’t use a keyboard shortcut to move through tabs on safari and Orion, but you have taught me there is one. I even searched multiple times before and couldn’t find it. I don’t know why
Duplicate tab with opt+drag is the next dream, but it isn’t the most pressing issue for the team in sure
njohnathan ctrl + tab works in Orion (and Safari afaik). Orion even has MRU mode for tabs (most recently used order, you can enable this in Settings)
Vlad ok I’ll try it… I don’t know why I thought it didn’t work
