CTRL/STRG+TAB Tab Switching with history

[Tony Ruprich]

Hi, 

I miss the keyboard shortcuts for switching last used tabs with ctrl+tab , is there a way to configure it back? I often switch between 2, 3 or 4 tabs and actually I need to use the mouse or remember the tab number, that often changes - and it costs a lot of time for me :-(

Hope for help, best, Tony

I want the actual answer (though I’ve never used that), but what I personally do is hit Command-O and then type out what the tab title is, which in my case is so I can find whatever I’m ssh’ing to.)

You can either go to Settings > Keys > Key Bindings and choose Presets… > Factory Defaults, or bind control-tab to “Cycle tabs forward” and control-shift-tab to “Cycle tabs backward”.

Addition: after restart also Factory reset key bindings worked. 👍🏼

GREAT! Thank you very much!!! 

Factory Settings did not help but setting the key binding works like a charm :)
