Switching between tabs using keyboard shortcut
Hi Michael_Buchner, we are investigating ways to make Tab switching hotkeys more usable. Would you expect that CTRL+Shift only ever switch between the last two tabs? If more how many? What scenarios do you have that necessitate the rapid swapping of tabs? This information will help us better understand the underlying jobs to be done, and help us craft better solutions. Thanks - Elliot
Hi Elliot Kirk, Firefox switches between last two tabs, so I personally would prefer to have the same feature in Edge Chromium as well. You wrote CTRL+Shift - why not making it configurable to have this feature either on CTRL+Shift or CTRL+Tab? Thanks Michael
- I don't really think there is a need to make it configurable, as anything other than Ctrl+Tab would be non-standard; one reason for adding this feature is, besides from being extremely useful (I'd go so far and call it "necessary"), is the standard behavior of specifically Ctrl+Tab in other browsers.
alhpa Chrome and Opera has Ctrl-Tab (and Ctrl-Shft-Tab for reverse) showing all tabs in thumbnails (Chrome) or list with url-icon (Opera). Works just like alt-tab for switching between windows, tap tab key once switches back and forth, hold ctrl and tap tab key walks through.
I use this very frequently going back and forth between two web pages, or between three pages, email-wiki, email-projectMgmt, email-calendar etc.
It is a must have, I would switch to edge right away, uses less CPU and memory than all other browsers (so far). Thanks Mattias
alhpaYou're absolutely right! I would also really love to switch over from FF to Edge Chromium but, as you wrote, this is one of my must-haves.
