Files: No keyboard combination to switch tabs

Created on 29 Jul 2020  ·  9Comments  ·  Source: files-community/Files

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open a tab
  2. Go and open another tab
  3. Try a keyboard combination to switch from tabs, currently I can't find any.
    Expected behavior
    As the design of tabs changed, it shoud be a way to switch from tabs without having to go to the "open tabs" button icon, that would be nice for those(like me), who uses more keyboard than the mouse.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS Version: [e.g. Windows 10 2004 19041.388]
  • App version: [v0.12.4.0]

Additional context
I am not totally sure, previous version with tabs had any combination for tabs switching, but I consider that, it is completly a most have feature to make explorer to improve.

@osieltorres Have you tried using ctrl + 1 - ctrl + 9?

I think Ctrl+Tab used to work but now does nothing

No, I have not, I suppose it works, but in this case, wouldn't it be better from an accessibility perspective, to set ctrl + tab for it?

ctrl + tab should work as well.

Not working then.

Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab seem to work when the vertical tab view flyout is open. When it's closed, it doesn't work.

I think this can be closed, currently in v0.12.5.0 works fine both ctrl + tab and ctrl + 1 - ctrl + 9 options.

Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab seem to work when the vertical tab view flyout is open. When it's closed, it doesn't work.

App crashes for me when I disable the multitasking flyout and try to open a new tab.

@osieltorres We are keeping this issue open as it still applies to the vertical tab flyout.
