Keyboard shortcuts for Nautilus and Gedit (switching tabs)

[3Nex]

Hey,

I find it weird that Ctrl+Tab doesn't switch tabs in both Nautilus nor Gedit. I've been fine with Gedit's Ctrl+Alt+Page alternative, but I can't find any shortcut for that task in Nautilus. It would be great if I could somehow customize it to Ctrl+Tab in both programs. Is that possible?

Ty.

bump, even if the answer is no...

I'm having the same problem. Doesn't anyone know a solution to this?

There is a plugin here for gedit to Switch between tabs using Ctrl-Tab / Ctrl-Shift-Tab.
Control Your Tabs
There are also similar plugins on the same page.
http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins (http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins)
Haven't tested them though.

Edit:I just tried the Control Your Tabs plugin and it works.

You need to extract the 2 files (controlyourtabs.py and controlyourtabs.gedit-plugin)
to ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins
Create the plugins folder if it doesn't exist.

Don't put them in a folder in the plugins directory or they won't work.

Thanks stinkeye, works like a charm. Now if I could only find a solution for nautilus :-)

Alt+number will jump to that tab in all GTK applications.

(Alt+1 to first tab, Alt+2 to second tab etc.)

Use ctrl+PageUp or ctrl+PageDown

Tried it, didn't work. The plugin doesn't even show up in the list of plugins in preferences. I'm using gedit 2.30.2 in openSUSE 11.3 64bit.

Thanks .... great solution ;)

I've never understood why Gnome's core applications can't standardise on a set of keyboard shortcuts. Ctrl+PageUp/Down works in e.g. Firefox and Nautilus, so why not gEdit? Remembering fewer keyboard shortcuts is without a doubt easier!
