Description Jani Monoses 2009-07-29 17:46:46 UTC 
Allow cycling over the first and last tabs when moving a tab page, just as it alreday works for moving along the tabs (Ctrl+Shift vs Ctrl)

the patch

Same as it is done for the Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn situation.
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2009-07-30 08:59:46 UTC 
Ctrl+PgUp/Down tab cycling only works when keynav wrap-around is enabled (a gtk setting) (bug 92139). To do that for reordering, I think you need an additional patch similar to commit 17faca2ec9949ecff096c603f04622373dba2b5d.
Comment 3 Jani Monoses 2009-07-30 09:08:01 UTC 
Reordering works for me with this patch but I may have missed something indeed.
I am running plain Ubuntu 9.04 Gnome with no customizations to GTK settings.

What can I set/unset to see if such an additional patch is needed (so how to disable reordering even if this patch to g-t is applied) ?
Comment 4 Christian Persch 2009-07-31 12:21:26 UTC 
Put this line in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 :

gtk-keynav-wrap-around=0

Then tab switching won't wrap around on 1st/last tab.
Comment 5 Debarshi Ray 2015-03-23 09:47:49 UTC 
With recent versions of gnome-terminal (I have 3.14.x) I can cycle from the last tab to the first when moving them using ctrl+shift+[pgup, pgdn].

It's been six years (!), so I am assuming that this got fixed in the meantime.
