Fast navigation through the tabs

Post by Alexey Lubkin »

For now the only way to navigate between the tabs (in Browser-mode) is to press Ctrl+Tab or Ctrl+Shift+Tab combinations. I think, All+1, Alt+2, Alt+3, ... - is much better.

If you have several windows opened, navigation with Alt+<number> would be quicker. Though how would the user know which tab has which number?
The text editor PSPad uses small numbers in each tab, but this does not look that nice, I think. Perhaps an option for showing/hiding these small numbers?

Alt+' - for the most left tab (browser).
Alt+1 - for the first tab (right to the browser tab)
Alt+2 - for the second tab.
etc.

// Just like in old good Borland Pascal 7.0, or Borland C 3.1 (that UI family has the name of "Turbo Vision") - DOS applications.

I think those numbers is not neccessary.
Hotkeys - is more than enough.

Please check these topics (Alt+1, 2... shortcuts are reserved, and Ctrl+ and Shift+1, 2... are already requested):
