I am a big fan of the new in-place window switcher, but I would love if there were keyboard shortcuts for switching between the tab groups/saved windows instead of having to go to the sidebar and click to switch.

    toddbomb Did you check the shortcuts visible in View Menu?

        I mean within the windows sidebar, a shortcut to easily switch between the saved windows.

        Maybe something like the tab switcher with control+tab?

          toddbomb You can already assign shortcuts to each window. If you want a shortcut to toggle between all windows, that already exists too?

          Please be concrete in exactly what the ask is.

            When I am in a saved window, the option that you highlighted is greyed out for me.

            I understand I can assign shortcuts to each window, but 1. is it possible to add some default shortcut? or 2. move between saved windows using a shortcut?

            For context, this is what my windows look like now:

              Even with multiple windows as such:

              The option in the Window tab to go to previous and next window is greyed out:

                toddbomb Oh, OK this is because the shortcut works for windows that are currently open only. I guess we can change it to work for all windows? Although that may upset some users? What do you suggest?

                    I personally would prefer the shortcut to work with all windows as I use the trackpad gestures to move between different windows. Or perhaps a different shortcut? Whatever would be easier.

                      I have two "windows"/"tab groups" after setting things up. One for work and one for myself, I can use the mouse to click between them, but I expected to find a keyboard shortcut. It wasn't under the 'view' menu but instead the 'Window' menu. It is always greyed out for me but ideally it'd work just like clicking over with the mouse.
                      I definitely don't want multiple windows open, I'd like to have a logical arrangement of tabs that I can switch around to. Firefox used to do this, and Opera currently has workspaces that are similar.
                      What is rather nice so far about Orion is that it's just a nice functional and simple thing. Keyboard interaction just makes it more useful.

                        Can someone define a concrete ask here please?

                          I think the "Go to Previous Window" and "Go to next Window" for orion is not highlight for toddbomb because those two is assign to switch between multiple app instance just like "cmd + `" as I tested, but what it should do is switch between windows(or better named tab groups), just like what safari does with "cmd+opt+up/down arrow" to switch between tab groups or what arc browser does with "cmd+opt+left/right arrow" to switch between so called "space"(fancy name for tab group).

                          I vote for just use "cmd+opt+up/down arrow" to switch windows(tab groups) just like safari since orion has same style sidebar. "cmd+opt+up/down arrow" should not duplicate the function of "cmd + `" right?
