Change to Next and Previous Editor Tab
Reported by aledr | January 29th, 2010 @ 01:48 PM
The "commom" shortcut keys to change tabs (i.e. browsers, text
editors, ...) are "CTRL+Tab" and "CTRL+Shift+Tab".
Can you consider It when refactoring the shortcut keys?
Thanks.

It conflicts with SWT.
Mostly UIs uses Tab to change fields but in this case Tab is an useful key in editor. So, for that It is necessary to override/re-bind SWT keys or define something else than "the common". -

You're right that anything to do with Tab is a bad choice.
I set the keybindings on LinWin to Ctrl+Shift+Page Up/Down, which is the same as in Terminal in Ubuntu. How's that?

+1 for Ctrl+Right for next tab (since that's the FF/Chrome default in Linux) thought ctrl+page up/down wouldn't be too bad (ctrl+shift+page up/down is somewhat awkward).
Thanks!

Is Ctrl+Right default in (which) Linux? In the last years It ever was Ctrl+Tab (using openSUSE). :O
I never realized that It could be different. -

bah somehow my mind wasn't functioning there. My own personal preference (non standard) is ctrl+right for next tab.
In Linux's FF/Chrome, the default for next tab, as you mentioned, is ctrl+Tab, that's what I meant to +1 (i.e. prefer the FF way over the Console way) :)
