Safari: How To Easily Switch Between Tabs?!

HappyDude20 · Oct 5, 2011, 12:20 AM

I need a solution in easily being able to switch between tabs.

Either a trackpad or keyboard shortcut.

In Snow Leopard I used Multi-Clutch to swipe between tabs, though Lion has now made that difficult. FireFox has always been cool in allowing command+left/right/any number... but Safari doesn't seem to do this.

Any solution.

Really.

Shift-Command-[ or Shift-Command-]

Shift+Command+Right Arrow to move to the next right tab
Shift+Command+Left Arrow to move to the next left tab

oh that worked, i like that... wish it could be just command and the arrows, though. Guess I can't have it all.

, to move left
. to move right.
That is when your cursor is not in a text box on a webpage.

I use Ctrl Tab to move the next (right) tab,
and that works not only on Safari, but also on other browsers with tabs.

Whoops.. Didn't realize these shortcuts are from Glims. Sorry. Glims is a fantastic Safari extension though.

And to reverse it:

CTRL + Shift + TAB

This doesn't read clearly....

Shift+Command+[
OR
Shift+Command+]

.... that is, the "square bracket" key is the 3rd key in the combo.... use the open or close bracket for left and right....

I can confirm it works on 10.6.8 and Safari 5.0.5

ALT + LEFT ARROW
ALT + RIGHT ARROW
and triger two actions:
CMD+SHIFT+[
and
