Ctrl+number for tab switch shortcut suggestion

Post by MedBooster »

Currently I am using the shortcut Ctrl+1-9 for something else, but what would be cool would be to be able to enable ctrl+ number keyboard shortcuts for a specific tab in a document. E.g. Ctrl+4 to switch to the 4th tab in the row and Ctrl+8 to switch to the 8th tab.
(Some browsers do this)
To have it be optional would be nice though, as someone might use the that combination for some other shortcuts :)

Hi Medbooster,

I asked the dev team about this but they consider it too narrow a focus. They have rejected the request I am afraid.

sorry
Best regards

Hello, A further update,

Paul and myself championed this idea and offered evidence to the contrary of the though that this was too narrow, and managed to convince the dev team to try and offer an implementation of this in some way. We cannot say now wether it will come with default keybinds or simply be a few new command options which you can ocnfigure yourself, but it should be something that comes along in the future. Do know however that it is not a high priority, and may be some time before we see it.

FR#6299: FR: add commands to switch to document tab 1-9 (like in edge)

Kind regards,

Hello MedBooster,

Yes - that seems to be it - and it is working correctly for me using Ctrl + the num pad numbers on my keyboard.

Kind regards,
Stefan
