Description Hal Canary 2006-06-25 17:05:10 UTC
Right now there is a complicated way to switch to the next tab:	"ctrl-tab, rightarrow" and "ctrl-tab, leftarrow" to move left.

A simpler way would be: "ctrl-tab" and "ctrl-shift-tab" OR "ctrl-pgup" and "ctrl-pgdn" (like firefox).

Other information:
$ gedit --version
Gnome gedit 2.14.3
$ cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux)
Comment 1 Steve Frécinaux 2006-06-25 18:39:09 UTC
You have to use Alt+Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown.

Comment 2 Hal Canary 2006-06-25 19:58:21 UTC
Since this feature is not documented ANYWHERE in the help file, it might as well not be fixed.

Comment 3 Paolo Borelli 2006-06-25 20:16:08 UTC
Next version of gedit will have a "Next/Prev Document" menu items so that the shortcut (which btw is a standard gtk shortcut) will be more discoverable.

You can also switch document with Alt+1,2,3,etc
Comment 4 Hal Canary 2006-06-25 21:21:54 UTC
Excellent.

Also, you could add this page
http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/KeyboardShortcuts
to the Gedit documentation.

feel free to do it, it's a wiki :)

patch for the gedit manual.

Here is a patch for the gedit manual.

This is the first time I've ever submitted a patch, so I apologize in advance if I made a mistake.
Comment 7 Paolo Borelli 2007-01-12 08:51:14 UTC
Wow, I reached this bug by chance from the wiki... If this bug is closed there is no way it'll ever be fixed, let alone the docs patch noticed by the documentation team and reviewed.

Reopening with the right summary.
Comment 8 Joachim Noreiko 2007-02-01 13:36:32 UTC
Thanks for the patch!
I've made a few minor changes for style and added the new section to the manual.

Fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major release.
Comment 9 Hal Canary 2007-02-02 17:20:48 UTC
Did anyone add a section on gtktextview keyboard shortcuts? (exempli gratia: Ctrl+rightarrow)
Comment 10 Joachim Noreiko 2007-02-02 17:31:11 UTC
Nope, but those should probably go in the GNOME User Guide rather than the Gedit manual. 
You're more than welcome to take a look at that if you feel like submitting another patch. :)
It's in SVN under /gnome-user-docs/gnome2-user-guide, and the bugzilla component for it is: gnome-user-docs/user-guide.
