MRU (Most Recently Used) Tab Switching (again!)

Post by kuanzu00 »

I found this thread from a few years ago while trying to work out how to switch tabs in MRU order. It lists the same questions I have but doesn't seem to answer them. Can we have another go please?

I want to switch tabs in MRU - as per Firefox and Notepad++. The setting 'Cycle tabs in recently used order' changes the behavior of CTRL+TAB but I cannot work out what pattern it is using - but it ain't MRU!

Tabs A, B, C, D.

* I click on A then on D.
* CTRL+TAB should now take me from D to A. Release.
* [hold] CTRL+TAB A to B to C. Release.
* [hold] CTRL+TAB C to A to D. Release.
* CTRL+TAB now cycles D to C.

You can see this in action with Firefox and Notepad++.

As I said, 'Cycle tabs in recently used order' is doing something but it isn't producing MRU as above.

P.S. 'Cycle tabs in recently used order' is also changing the behavior of CTRL + Pg Up / Pg Down which I think is an error? That setting should only effect CTRL+TAB.

Nope, that's wrong. To go backwards use Ctrl+Shift+Tab.

These are the functions:
Miscellaneous | Tab Functions | Cycle Tabs Forward (Ctrl+Tab)
Miscellaneous | Tab Functions | Cycle Tabs Backward (Ctrl+Shift+Tab)
