Yeah, you're probably right. Thank you again for the recent ctrl+tab improvement.

I also strongly support a Firefox / Visual Studio like pop-up menu with a list of tabs. It's quite cumbersome to work between two different folders if you have a lot of other folders open, as you have to ctrl+tab a lot between the tabs.

If you can make it work just like in FF/VS, I'd be very happy.

Right-click the empty space on the right end of the tab bar... :)

In configuration / tabs you can reserve some at the right end of the tab bar...

Hello Don

Many thanks for XY and for new features, like this one, you continue to add!

I may be missed something, but I cann't figure out how to activate the "standard" ctrl+tab behaviors as tedy called it, and as CrouZ described here https://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic ... 806#p35806
Whith the "Cycle tabs in recently used order" checkbox unchecked, pressing ctrl+tab activates a tab to the right at each tab press (holding ctrl)
Whith the "Cycle tabs in recently used order" checkbox checked, ctrl+tab switches tabs in some unexpected order: e.g. let's say I've visited tab1, then moved to tab2, then pressed ctrl+tab. I expect tab1 to be activated, but tab11 is activated instead. When ctrl+tab is pressed again, tab5 is activated instead of tab2, etc.

Is it possible for ctrl+tab to behave as it is implemented in Firefox with "Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order" activated or as alt+tab in Windows?

Thanks.

I, and probably others, hate this MRU behavior, and will not appreciate it being forced on me/us.
Don't worry. All there is to be done (and has been done over here in the lab) is to add MRU update when releasing the keys so that Ctrl+Tab* / release keys / Ctrl+Tab will jump between the last 2 tabs.

* Or whatever your KS.

This MRU update on key release will be implemented for these functions below, which point to other default KS. So everybody who wants Ctrl+Tab for the desired MRU behavior has to reassign their shortcuts in the next beta version, and that's all :D!

CKS / Miscellaneous / Tab Functions / Cycle Tabs Backward, Delay Browsing
default KS = Ctrl+PageUp, set it to Ctrl+Tab

CKS / Miscellaneous / Tab Functions / Cycle Tabs Forward, Delay Browsing
default KS = Ctrl+PageDown, set it to Ctrl+Shift+Tab
