Ctrl-Tab+Ctrl-PgUp w/out release Ctrl do not work in TC7 RC1

[samid]

Hi,

In TC7, the following does not work:

- hold Ctrl down and press Tab to move to the next tab
- now, without releasing Ctrl, press PgUp.

In TC7, this yields a beep and does not go up dir. In TC6, this worked just fine - you could move to another tab, and go up dir in that tab, without releasing/pressing Ctrl down again. Other combinations of Ctrl+<key> also do not work w/out releasing/re-pressing Ctrl after a Ctrl-Tab or Ctrl-Shift-Tab.

Thanks.

Welcome aboard samid,

You can revert to the TC6 behavior by editing the wincmd.ini section [Configuration]:

Code: Select all

TabSwitchMode=0	0: Ctrl+Tab switches tabs only when releasing the CTRL key
	1: Ctrl+Tab switches tabs immediately when pressing the TAB key.

"TabSwitchMode=1" should solve your problem.

I think this not a bug but by design:

07.01.07 Fixed: Ignore any other hotkeys than Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab and user-assigned hotkeys to cm_SwitchToPreviousTab and cm_SwitchToNextTab while in delayed tab switching mode

05.11.06 Added: wincmd.ini [Configuration] TabSwitchMode=1 turns on old Ctrl+Tab switch mode: Jump directly to tab, not only when releasing the Ctrl key

Kind regards,

Indeed TC is now ignoring any hotkeys during an ongoing Ctrl+Tab operation, except for Ctrl+W (delete tab). This had to be done because of many unwanted side effects.

Holger, Christian - thanks for the explanation.
