Subject: [Usability] Switching between tabs with Ctrl+Tab and
Ctrl+Shift+Tab and "recency list"
Hello there,
I'd like to discuss/suggest a well known and handy feature I miss in GNOME.
So, is there any reason why Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab aren't/shouldn't
be used to switch forward/backward between tabs in e.g. gnome-terminal,
gedit, other tabbed applications?
I believe this was reserved for cases where users wanted to Tab through a
user interface but in certain cases (like the old File Chooser) the Tab
would be trapped.
(This came up a while back in another discussion, something to do with
Ctrl+Page Up/Down which I believe the HIG specifies. I'd have to trawl
through the archives to check but I think that was it.)
Ctrl+Tab (resp. +Shift+Tab) is in my opinion a good, convenient standard
and should be in GNOME by default.
I'd like it too for what it is worth, old Windows habits die hard.
Sincerely
Alan Horkan
