Next and previous tab shortcuts

The next and previous tab shortcuts should got to the next and previous tabs in the order they are shown, not in the order they were opened. It makes working with multiple tabs a pain! Please fix this or add an option to change it.

If there's a possibility to change this manually by editing an .ini file or any other way, please let me know.

I usually work with 5 or more tabs open at a time and this is making my progress real slow.

It also happens if you just click on then on them in another order. Click "Tab 1", then "Tab 3", and then "Tab 2" and next time the CTRL TAB will follow that order...


I don't know how this behavior was in previous versions because I have never used this workflow. However, I was able to reproduce it in the latest version. I will share this forum post with the product team for their observations.

I encourage you to log a bug with the team using Help > Submit a bug/Feature request in DW.

Thanks,

Preran

I'm using the same shortcuts. Are you sure you scroll through the tabs in the order they are show?

For example, I have:

"Tab 1" "Tab 2"

Then I open "Tab 3" and move it between the other two. So now I have:

"Tab 1" "Tab 3" "Tab 2"

What happens when I press CTRL TAB is that I will jump from "Tab 1" to "Tab 2" and then back to "Tab 3". It does not respect the order I put them on screen.

Edit: just to add I'm also on Win 10 and it's Dreamweaver CC 2018 (this problem wasn't present in CC 2017).

you're right... I never encounter such a behavior, certainly, because I never re order the TABs once opened...


It also happens if you just click on then on them in another order. Click "Tab 1", then "Tab 3", and then "Tab 2" and next time the CTRL TAB will follow that order...
