Better ctrl+tab behavior

[Sibin A S]

Hello,

Please find the keyboard shortcuts to switch the next, previous connections and even to a specific connection tab below.
Ctrl+Tab Switch to Next Connection
Ctrl+Shift+Tab Switch to Previous Connection
Ctrl+1 to 8 Select Connection (1 to 8)
Ctrl+9 Select Last Connection

We checked in Firefox and Notepad++ as well and found Ctrl+Tab does the same operation that SQLyog does.

To navigate between the query tabs inside a connection you may the shortcuts
Ctrl+PgUp Switch To Previous Tab
Ctrl+PgDown Switch To Next Tab

I understand what the keyboard shortcuts do, they go to either “previous” or “next” connection, but it really just goes either “right” or “left” whereas I would expect it to go to the tab I previously came from, regardless of it was to the left or the right of the current tab.

In notepad++ the ctrl+tab behavior acts as I described; it goes backwards chronologically between previously used tabs, it doesn’t just move left and right. In Firefox, I forgot that I had to set a config setting to make it work, that is, from about:config, set browser.ctrlTab.preview=true. However, as previously stated, in Netbeans and Phpstorm it also does this by default.

The Ctrl+PgUp/pgDown is good to know.

This option isn’t supported in SQLyog currently. As an alternate solution, you can use ‘Ctrl+PgUp’ to switch to the previous tab and ‘Ctrl+PgDown’ to switch to the next tab.
