Switching between tabs using keyboard shortcut

In Firefox you can switch between two recently used tabs by pressing CTRL-TAB. Would be great to have this feature in Edge Chromium! Currently, CTRL-TAB switches between all open tabs.

Michael_Buchner Excellent, I'm glad to hear that solves your use case. And thanks for sharing that need; I have additional good news for you. If you paste edge://settings/downloads into your browser, you can change the default download location! Let me know if that helps.

Deletedwell, that's the default download location for all sites/urls you download a file from. Firefox stores and keeps the download location site-dependent, that means if you download a file from www.x.com, default download location would be C:\x and if you download from www.y.com it would be C:\y. That's a pretty nice thing in case you want to download documents from different web sites periodically, for example invoices each month. You don't have to switch the locations every time as Firefox knows where to store the files (download location history).

    Deleted sure, but just refer to the scenario described in my last reply. Each month I'm downloading documents like invoices from different providers/companies to my network storage or OneDrive. Here I have an invoices folder in "documents" containing subfolders for each provider. When I download a file, Firefox is using the download location for that specific URL from local browser storage. When I download a file from another provider/URL, Firefox knows where to store it in case I have already downloaded a file from that URL and changed the download location. Got it? 😉

    Affected Firefox setting is browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite.

    I guess it's off topic here, so please refer to https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/site-specific-download-location/m-p/1372266.

    Michael_Buchner Thank you for elaborating; I understand the context around that feedback better now. I'd be happy to pass this request along to the Download team. In addition to invoices, can you think of any other scenarios in which you'd use/want that site-specific download setting?
