[ Branched ] app.executeMenuCommand "navigateToNextDocument" doesn't work

[Inventsable]

Hey Carlos, I was just looking for how to do this! Thanks.

By chance, do you know why these app.executeMenuCommand strings don't work?

navigateToNextDocument

navigateToNextDocumentGroup

navigateToPreviousDocument

navigateToPreviousDocumentGroup

hmm...for some reason I never used those commands, so I never noticed they didn't work. They might be obsolete commands from earlier versions.

any time I needed to navigate to other documents I would use documents[index];

Hello,

can you give an example how you are using :documents[index];: for navigating?

i have an active dosument.

I want to select the next or  the previous document of the active document

The document names are random, the active document can be any

The shortcut

Ctrl + tab for the next document

and shortcut 

Shift+Ctrl+Tab for the previous document  

working fine.

But i cannot use these shortcuts inside a script

The same for me.

A quick test with this command always ended with a 'PARM' error. Strange.
