Conemu: Cycle through tabs using C[-shift]-tab is shuffled

Created on 6 May 2016  路  3Comments  路  Source: Maximus5/ConEmu

Versions

ConEmu build: 160504 x64
OS version: Windows 8.1 x64
Used shell version (Far Manager, git-bash, cmd, powershell, cygwin, whatever): cmd, git-bash MINGW64

Problem description

C-tab and C-shift-tab, used to cycle through tabs, go in one way or the other without obvious logic.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a few tabs in ConEmu (e.g. 4 cmd)
  2. From the last, try to move one left with C-shift-tab.

    Actual results

End up on first tab.

Then, C-tab cycles backwards (left) and C-shift-tab goes forward (right).

If you click on some random tabs through the process of cycling using C[-shift]-tab, it messes the order further. It's like it's trying to remember which was the last tabs visited instead of just moving left or right through the tabs.

Expected results

Move by one tab left, like in a browser.

Practically never dealt with that. No window in any OS uses that by default (that I know of at least). Browsers use one left / one right by default (at least, Firefox, Chrome, IE). Same for Notepad++... If you check console apps... Yakuake, Guake don't do that either. Neither do Agent Ransack, SourceTree, etc., etc... Just about anything out there doesn't work like that. Only thing that comes to mind that works in recent mode by default is alt-tab. I'm not saying others don't support it, but I really doubt that "most tabbed interfaces" use recent mode by default.

Nice timing to find it's a feature. aha oops

Pretty convinced it shouldn't be turned on by default, though...

Most of tabbed interfaces switch between last tabs by default == recent mode
