Being used to Arc, I have enabled the Vertical Tabs option in Orion. I now expect to switch tabs using the shortcuts ⌥⌘↑ and ⌥⌘↓, however, I still have to use ⌥⌘← and ⌥⌘→, which I find quite unintuitive.

I’m aware that there is also ⌃⇥ and ⌃⇧⇥ to show the next/previous tab. Since those are the ones appearing in the Window menu, I tried customizing them to ⌥⌘↑ and ⌥⌘↓ in the macOS settings, but this doesn’t work properly. It interferes with page scrolling, for example, when I hit ⌥⌘↓, the current page will scroll to the bottom.

I see 3 options for addressing this issue:

  1. Allow both ⌥⌘← / ⌥⌘→ and ⌥⌘↑ / ⌥⌘↓ for tab switching, no matter if horizontal tabs or vertical tabs are enabled.
  2. Depending on whether horizontal or vertical tabs are enabled, only allow the respective pair (up/down for vertical tabs, left/right for horizontal tabs).
  3. Only fix the page scrolling problem outlined above, so users can customize the shortcuts to be ⌥⌘↑ / ⌥⌘↓.

Options 1 and 2 are are preferred, as they will help users migrating from Arc without requiring further configuration.
