Additional switching tabs behavior (Ctrl + Tab)

Post by *RubinX »

Hi,

Working with many different MDI applications, I used to tab between windows in particular order:
"Ctrl + Tab" switches tabs *not* in bar tabs order, but in recently used tabs order.
I miss such switching tab behavior in TC.

=====================
I will try to explain that behavior with an example of Opera browser.
In Opera's Preferences (Ctrl + F12) / Advanced / Tabs we can set one of three options:
  • * "cycle in recently used order" -> my requested new switching tabs behavior for TC,
    * "cycle in tab bar order" -> same as default TC behavior (with TabSwitchMode = 0),
    * "cycle without showing list" -> same as default TC behavior (with TabSwitchMode = 1).
=====================
Examples:

----------
prepare to test

for example, there are 5 opened tabs:

Code: Select all

|  1  |  2  |  3  |  4  |  5  |
let's switch them in order (by mouse clicking): 1, 5, 3

Code: Select all

| *1* |  2  |  3  |  4  |  5  |
->
|  1  |  2  |  3  |  4  | *5* |
->
|  1  |  2  | *3* |  4  |  5  |
so after this three steps, active tab is now *3*.

----------
1. default TC behavior (same as Opera's: "cycle in tab bar order" / "cycle without showing list"):

1a. single "ctrl + tab" press:

Code: Select all

|  1  |  2  | *3* |  4  |  5  |
->
|  1  |  2  |  3  | *4* |  5  | (!!! next tab in bar order)

1b. double "ctrl + tab" press (press and HOLD ctrl / press tab / press tab / RELEASE ctrl):

Code: Select all

|  1  |  2  | *3* |  4  |  5  |
->
|  1  |  2  |  3  | *4* |  5  |
->
|  1  |  2  |  3  |  4  | *5* |
----------
2. requested new tab switching behavior (same as Opera's: "cycle in recently used order"):

2a. single "ctrl + tab" press:

Code: Select all

|  1  |  2  | *3* |  4  |  5  |
->
|  1  |  2  |  3  |  4  | *5* | (!!! last active tab)
2b. double "ctrl + tab" press (press and HOLD ctrl / press tab / press tab / RELEASE ctrl):

Code: Select all

|  1  |  2  | *3* |  4  |  5  |
->
|  1  |  2  |  3  |  4  | *5* |
->
| *1* |  2  |  3  |  4  |  5  |
Thank You.

Regards,
Rubin
