Tabs: new mouse click action

Hi Don,
I would like to see a new
on *-click mouse action
Toggle last|previous tab, and if it's feasible a new
on single-click mouse event as well.
Expected behaviour
In a given XY session
on source event
Code: Select all
- if (the currently active tab X has at least one previously active sibling Y)
--- focus Y
- else
--- do nothing
Cheers,
Filehero

Nice idea but technically tricky. I implemented it experimentally as a tweak:
Nice side effect: You can dbl-click *any* tab in the bar to trigger the toggle, so you have a large target for the mouse.

Cool, thanks.
Q: which version got that tweak?

The tweak will not survive OK-ing the Configuration dialog. It's only an experiment for now. If it looks good I will add it to that list as "Select previous tab" or so.

Forget the tweak. I just added it to the UI.

PS: This works only if you have programmed the middle button to perform a dbl click.

That's ultrasmooth.
Nevertheless, except for the X close button, a LMD is eagerly awaiting being assigned a special tab job.
For me, that's a little but huge enhancer of my daily work.
Edit: I just started to scratch my tabs and make the tree path jump, jump, jump ...
Thanks a lot,
Filehero

BTW, I assume you know about this CKS possibility:
Miscellaneous | Tab Functions | Open Previous Tab

Yep, but here the productivity gain comes from the mouse. In contrast, a majour CKS goodie ist <ctrl><shift><t> -
Restore Last Closed Tab.
I browse the web, and I browse my files........

PS: FF29 has got a nice gui touch-up, many seem to hate, I like it.

Wow, I don't know when this was added but this seems to address my previous tab issue posted some time ago
here.
