macOS Fastscripts Finder tabs

[dlorenzo]

Hi,

I am trying to get Fastscripts be able to control the switching to a specific Finder tab using keyboard shortcuts (command+1, command+2, etc). I have been able to get this working for Safari using the following script:

tell application "Safari"
	try
		tell front window to set current tab to tab 1
	end try
end tell

However I have not been able to get this working with Finder. Does anyone have a clue on how to make Finder understand a go to tab command?

Thanks!

Finder's dictionary doesn't have support for tabs, but you can simulate pressing control tab.

tell application "Finder" to activate
tell application "System Events"
	tell process "Finder"
		-- Show Next Tab
		key code 48 using control down
		-- Show Previous Tab
		key code 48 using {control down, shift down}
	end tell
end tell
