1) It would be nice to have tab numbering and CKSs to go to tab#1, #2 etc directly. I guess most us have some tabs in fixed location for a good work flow and would be handy if tabs are accessible directly via KS.
2) Once tabs have numbers it would open up a lot of nice options like directly defining an action to a tab# rather than a absolute path.

Internally the tab have fixed ID numbers that live as long as the tab lives, independent of its position, name, or content. When you say "have tab numbering" you mean to display those numbers in the caption?

BTW, "selecttab #" (or similar) is planned for scripting anyway...

No, i did not mean to display numbers on tabs.
Yeah, I was suggesting the "selecttab #" thing. Since UDC has the "Go to" option, one could just put a tab number or ID in the location field instead of a path and user can have his/her own CKS to go to that tab.

"Go to" expects a path, and any number/ID would be resolved to some path spec. Internally the keyword here is "goto [path or file]" as opposed to "selecttab [#]".
What will happen is this: there will be yet one more UDC category, which is called ??? ("free", or "script" ... dunno yet). Here you can/must insert the keyword yourself. So you can have Go To commands here by putting "goto" in front of a path/file spec, or you can put "selecttab #" or any other out of a list of keywords I will publish when the time is ripe...

This will be the first phase of scripting. You will get a lot of commands that are not available in that form right now.

In the second phase of scripting you will get the opportunity to concatenate any number of those commands to a script batch.

Wow! waiting for scripting.
