Ctrl-Tab functionality

[habs]

Hi,

Apologies if this has already been posted.

I'm interested in the Ctrl-Tab functionality being enhanced for SecureCRT 5.0. Specifically, what I'm looking for is to be able to use Ctrl-Tab to navigate between the most-recently used tabs, similar to "Alt-Tab" in Windows.

I know that one can remap Ctrl-Tab to "Previous Tab", but it's not exactly what I am looking for. When one presses "Alt-Tab" in Windows (also "Ctrl-Tab" in the Opera Web Browser), you get a small "mini-window" which shows all of the current open applications. Keeping the Alt button depressed while pressing the Tab button allows you to "shift" between the applications, letting you choose which one you would like to focus on. A small "window" showing all of the active tabs in SecureCRT 5.0, and allowing us to "shift" between them via CTRL-Tab would be ideal.

Incorporating this sort of functionality into SecureCRT 5.0 with its multiple tabs would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Thanks for the feature request. That's a really cool idea. My guess is that unless we can find a library that does this for us, it would be a fair amount of work to implement. It definitely won't make it into 5.0, but I'd be interested in feedback from others as to how desirable this feature is.

I think that this is a good idea. I use alt+tab all day long ... and would probably use its equivalent just as much w/in SCRT.

It definitely won't happen in 5.0, but I've added this feature request to our development database for consideration in a future release.

I'm actually really suprised this wasn't done to begin with. Other apps that do tabs like this, such as FireFox, do use it. I would like to see it added someday.

Er. Wait. It /does/ do this now, for me. ctrl-tab cycles my tabs.

EDIT: Ignore me. I COMPLETELY misread this topic. Sorry, sorry.

Hi Maureen,

I'm just wondering what the status is of possibly implementing this CTRL-TAB functionality into SecureCRT.

Thanks!

CTRL-TAB works now in beta 5. Prolly worked before, but I did not test it.

I would really rather see the ALT-## become an option for be ALT-## or CTRL-## for direct access to a tab. But this is pretty minor...

Thank you for your awesome support!

This won't make it into 5.0, but it is under consideration for a future release of SecureCRT. If it were to be implemented, it would definitely be an option.
