Re: [gedit-list] Switching of tabs with Ctrl+Tab and "internal recency list"

[chuchi <jbarbero quiter com>]

Hi all,

In Eclipse if press <alt>+<left> you go to the previous document and fi you press <alt>+<right> you go to the next document. I think these are a good keys.

Why not we talk with the gtk developers to add this feature to the notebook control?? I think this feature is interesant for a lot of applications... Pehaps disabling by default and we can enable it in our applications.


Saludos,
    Chuchi
