Tab-Change

Post by Env »

How can I change the behaviour of tab-changes when using ctrl+tab? I want to change it like to show the last active document and not the next tab in the top-bar?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Env,

I am afraid that there is no such option in our products. In fact - I can not think of any product other than MS Windows itself that will order the tabs/windows by recent use rather than in a different order, and none of the PDF Viewers (or even Internet browsers) has it.

Regards,
Stefan

Sorry for misunderstanding.

I was trying to talk not about sorting but about which tab will become active when using ctrl+tab. Browsers like e.g. firefox, opera etc. offer the setting to use ctrl+tab for going to the last activ tab instead of changing to the next tab in the row shown in the bar in the top.

Hi Env,

Thanks for the email - we used to handle it that way, but changed the behaviour according to popular user request. As such, I"m afraid that we're not likely to change it back.

Thanks,

What a pitty. This is one of my most important features when using tab-based-software.

What about a setting to choose freely for everybody like in firefox and so on?

Hi Env,

I'll pass the suggestion along, but as always with feature requests, I can't make any guarantees.
