Switch tabs immediately on TAB ot SHIFT+TAB press

Post by *nick58 »

It will be very convenient if tabs will be switched immediately, without waiting until the user release the keys.

This allows visually control current location, not looking back to the tab bar.

I think it was done to reduce hangs for rereading slow medias. However you should read TOTALCMD.chm topic 4.b regarding TabSwitchMode option, it does exactly what you want.

Yes, it was changed so you can skip slow tabs like ftp connections, network shares etc. It even allows to close a tab with the keyboard without opening it: Press Ctrl+Tab without releasing Ctrl until you reach the tab to be closed. Then press "W" in addition to Ctrl.

Or define hotkeys for cm_SwitchToNextTab and cm_SwitchToPreviousTab.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.
