GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 740880
common tab navigation shortcuts
Last modified: 2021-07-05 10:53:32 UTC
Alt+Tab (and Alt+Shift+Tab) is a common shortcut for navigating through tabs. Many people are used to this and it allows the user to navigate tabs with one hand. (For Ctrl+ PageUp/PageDown you need a very big hand or both of your hands making it not really ergonomic IMO.) Epiphany in addition has the Alt+# shortcut which is also not mentioned on https://developer.gnome.org/hig/3.14/tabs.html.en IMO both (Ctrl (Shift) Tab and Alt+#) shortcuts should be added to this page.
Sorry, I meant Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab instead of Alt+...
Also look at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738325 which covers the Ctrl+Tab issue.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-devel-docs/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
