Total Commander

I currently have custom keybinds so that going to the next/prev tab works like in Firefox:
Ctrl+PageUp = cm_SwitchToPreviousTab
Ctrl+PageDown = cm_SwitchToNextTab

When I enabled the new option from TC v11.50 called "Ctrl+Tab switches to last visited" it changed the behavior of my custom keybind Ctrl+PageDown to "go to the last visited tab" instead of keeping it as "go to the next tab".

I would like to request that the behavior to go to the last tab gets its own command as well so that I can set have this setup:
Ctrl+PageDown = go to next tab
Ctrl+Tab = go to the last tab


Or maybe it's less work to create a new command that goes to the next tab ALWAYS and doesn't get overwritten by the option to go to the last visited tab?
Example:
Ctrl+Tab = cm_SwitchToNextTab (goes to the last visited tab when the option is enabled, like it currently does)
Ctrl+PageDown = cm_SwitchToNextTabAlways (new command that always goes to the next tab even when "Switch to last visited tab" is enabled)

Ctrl-Page-Down is already assigned to enter an archive.
I guess most users like this function more than your suggestion.

I'm not saying that we should change the default behavior or Ctrl+PageDown, that was just my example.

I'm suggesting to give users the ability to have separate keybinds for "going to last visited tab" and "going to the next tab".

Currently, since there's only one command, enabling the "last tab" option means that if you want to go to the next tab instead of the last tab, you have to press the shortcut twice but if you want to go to the previous tab you only press the shortcut once. It's inconsistent.

On today's 11.51 update notes it says:

New parameters for internal command cm_SwitchToNextTab, e.g. to switch to last visited tab

However, what's the parameter? Am I supposed to read a certain file and find what that is?
I want to set up Ctrl+PageDown to go to the Next Tab and Ctrl+Tab to go to the last selected tab.

I figured out that the parameter for going to the last tab is "1" by trial an error although it'd still be nice to know if there's a way to see what the parameters are for each command.

Btw, thanks for adding this! I finally have all the hotkeys I always wanted for this software!
