Ctrl+Tab has insufficient number of tab previews. Need more.

I have enabled Ctrl+Tab function to switch between tabs and I'd like to be able to choose between more than 6 tabs. "browser.ctrlTab.recentlyUsedLimit" does not work (I've read somewhere that it was "integer" but after clicking on reset it is now "string" and I can't do anything about it - manual edit in config file?). How can I enable more previews? Preferably 10-15.
Thank You.
Edit:
I use v34.0.5
I've already (prior asking this question) done extensive web search and all possible answers were outdated and do not work anymore. No addon that I know of helps too. I seek specific solution, no vague answer. Thanks for understanding.

Hi Master_Kosa
== :-(==
Lets try to stay friendly with one another. We are all just fellow Firefox users. There is the possibility that your question will not have any satisfactory answer.
I am not trying to waste your time here. I am just trying to clarify the question, and provide some relevant information.
I am presuming you have toggled the pref '''''browser.ctrlTab.previews''''' to true. When I do that I get up to 6 previews, which I guess is all that will fit in a single row across my display screen.
It then has an option to ''[display all (number) tabs]'' but that just opens the dropdown list.
I do not even have the pref '''''"browser.ctrlTab.recentlyUsedLimit"''''' and manually creating such an integer pref with value 7 does not give me an extra preview.
* In fact this article http://www.howtogeek.com/139736/how-to-change-hidden-advanced-settings-in-any-browser/ suggests the pref controls the Minimum number at which the dropdown will display. Not the number of preview tabs.
*I did find this article, but it could be out of date, it says default value is 3 http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.ctrlTab.previewsCount
Possible alternative workarounds.
I can actually get more previews my OS (Ubuntu) will easily display 9 tab previews and allow switching between them using Alt + `
Presumably Windows has something similar from its task bar.
Firefox also has the group tabs feature.
Previously known as Panorama. And probably no longer in development that allows large numbers of ''thumbnails'' of varying size {postage stamp to large preview} to be seen
* [[Use Tab Groups to organize a lot of tabs]]
I also found this article which presumably predates the Panorama work

SAPscript - Tab Position need more info

Greetings.
Could some one help me to explain the purpose of the tab position and what is SIGN mean for Alignment attributes.
In the tab position we can declare many TAB position, if we declare Number -1 Tab Position -17.00 CM Alignment - SIGN
is it mean when we put , is it the position of the characters will be at 17cm from the left?
Thank you.

Hi,
If you give the First tab position as 14 & 2nd Tab position as 17 c.m., it mean the first printing text starts at 14 C.M. and 2nd text starts from 3C.M.(17-14) next to 1st Tab Position (14c.m), i.e., the difference betn 1st Tab & 2nd Tab will 3 c.m.
NOTE: Always any tab position starts from Origin not from the previous tab position.
U dont need to give 2 couple of comma's for 2nd tab position.
Eg:
If you want the Text2 at 2nd tab position, u have to print like below:
P1 ,,text1,,text2
If you want the Text1 at 2nd tab position, print like below:
P1 ,,,,text1
Hope its clear!!
Rgds,

When I am on a Youtube video that is running and I want to switch to another tab, the Ctrl+ tab number does not work, is that intended functionality?

When I am on a Youtube video that is running and I want to switch to another tab, the Ctrl+<tab number> does not work, is that intended functionality?

This can happen when the video player (Flash plugin) has the focus.
In that case the plugin consumes all the key presses.
You will have to click with the mouse elsewhere on the page or in the user interface to make keyboard shortcuts work.

After Firefox has been on for awhile, the Firefox tabs on the task bar disappear even though the pages are still running. I have to use Ctrl+Tab to fix it

I have started using Firefox recently. My computer is running XP. I notice that whether I have one Firefox window or multiple windows open, after awhile the Firefox tabs on the bottom task bar just disappear.
In order to get them back I have to use Ctrl+Tab to select each window one at a time and then they re-appear again on the task bar. Then after awhile they will disappear again.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

Vim Ctrl + Tab for Tabs navigation

:noremap <silent> <c-Tab> :tabn<CR>
noremap! <silent> <C-Tab> :tabn<CR>
This doesn't work for me - any idea why? Ctrl-tab just doesn't shift tabs... I've definitely not bound the combination elsewhere in my .vimrc either.

Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+F6 still not working in Excel 2013?

I am using Windows 7 64-bit. I just switched to Office Home & Business 2013 (32-bit), and I discovered that ctrl+tab behavior in Excel 2013 is incredibly broken.
If you are using any other programs concurrently with Excel, then it makes switching tasks through ctrl+tab impossible. Switching workbooks in this way has unpredictable behavior: often, Excel will switch to a workbook that is hidden behind other windows
(fails to foreground the window correctly). Even when it appears to be switching appropriately between windows, the order of switching is wrong: rather than cycling through all windows, it seems to switch between workbooks somewhat randomly.
See similar issues discussed here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/f288d91d-835a-48c4-a39c-738ca05002c4/ctrltab-and-ctrlf6-not-working-properly-in-excel-2013?forum=officeitpro
and here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-excel/cycling-between-open-windows-using-ctrlf6-or/7314b632-7f48-44f1-8e96-7d7000ac86d8
There does not appear to be any solution to this issue so far. I have attempted to repair my installation of Microsoft Office, but it did not correct the problem.

Hi Dlup12345,
Based on my testes with local environment (Windows 8.1 and Excel 2013:15.0.4675.1000), the two Keyboard shortcuts worked as expected. In my view, this issue might be occur with Keyboard shortcuts, because you said the issue occurred intermittently. If we
only open multiple Excel files without other program, the shortcuts should worked fine. Please check if other program affected Excel shortcuts.
If you have any update, please feel free let us know.

It's recommended to download and install

Weird behavior with Ctrl-Tab

Dear members,
(Forms 6i c/s)
I have two tab canvases in one form. For each one, the first tab page is a master list, and the second one is a single-record detail block.
I try to prevent the user from going to the second tab page if the list is empty, so I check the cursor-block in the When-Tab-Page-Changed trigger.
It works fine when I use the mouse, but I get a different behavior with the Ctrl-Tab keys:
In the first canvas, when WTPC trigger fires, the cursor-block is the list block, which is fine.
But in the other canvas, the cursor-block is already the detail block as soon as the trigger fires.
I don't understand where the difference comes from, and I don't really know where to search.
Does anyone have a clue ?
Thanks for your help.

I don't, since my code has to be generic (it's the same for both canvases, and many more).
And I can only get the name of a canvas from a block, not the name of a block from a canvas.
That's why the cursor-block was the best solution.

How can I change the default behavior for ctrl-Tab?

I tried to change the behavior of ctrl-Tab from 'Next Tab' to 'Previous Tab' and added 'alt-Tab' for 'Next Tab' in Keyconfig so I can navigate in both directions with one hand. It does not change the behavior of ctrl-Tab.
I created both these shortcuts in Keyconfig:
Next Tab
gBrowser.mTabContainer.advanceSelectedTab(1,true);
Previous Tab
gBrowser.mTabContainer.advanceSelectedTab(-1,true);
I even tried doing this from the command line with the same result:
defaults write org.mozilla.firefox NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add "Next Tab" "~Tab"
defaults write org.mozilla.firefox NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add "Previous Tab" "^Tab"
I'm not sure why this didn't work but maybe "Tab" is the wrong keyword. I couldn't find any documentation on what it should be. Or possibly "Next Tab" and "Previous Tab" don't work in this case because they are not 'built-in' commands. A third possibility is that it won't work because ctrl-Tab is a built-in shortcut but I can't believe that is why. I was able to change cmd-Q to ^-cmd-Q no problem and that is a default OS X shortcut. I was also able to change other built-in functions' shortcuts, just not this one.
So what am I doing wrong? Has anybody been able to change this particular shortcut?

OK I posted a link to this thread on that forum thread but I still think this is general enough that it could be answered in this forum.

Subject: Tabs - Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar. For what ever reason, this option doesn't show up for me to select. Why, or was this feature moved or removed?

I'm running FireFox 10 and I have Windows 7 Ultimate on my PC. I would like to have the ability to select an open tab from the Windows taskbar. For what ever reason, this option is not showing in the Tools - Options - Tabs window. So, I can't select it. Why? Has this feature been moved or removed?

The "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar" does not appear as an option. in Options - Tabs.
I Toggled the browser.taskbar.previews to True in About:Config, but it made no difference.
So, no go on either solution.
I am running Windows Ultimate 64bit. I don't know if that makes a difference.

How to catch ctrl+tab key down

Ok, in the ItemEvent class or pVal we have a CharPressed property, for tab i'm getting a 9 character number but how can I detect if the user is pressing ctrl+tab button, I can't find any property that tells me if the user is presing control. I'm using SBO 2005....

Hi Giuseppe
It sounds like you are looking for the ChooseFromList Object. Look at the SDK sample code SAP Business One SDK\Samples\COM UI\VB.NET\17.ChooseFromList. In the example they demonstrate using the ChooseFromList with CTRL+TAB as well.
Hope this will help.

Ctrl+tab is not working in editing mode

I have JcheckBox and JTable in my JPanel. When user clicks or presses F2 to edit any cell value of the JTable a comboBox will appear with possible values. (This comboBox is coming from table CellEditor). When user presses ctrl+tab from the table focus should transfer to JComboBox all time. It is working only when the user presses ctrl+tab from the table cell which is not in editing mode. If the user presses ctrl+tab from the table cell which is in editing mode (i.e. focus is on the ComboBox of the cellEditor) it does not work. Please help me to find the solution.
I give a sample code here for your reference.
public class Frame1 extends JFrame {
public Frame1()
super();
this.setLayout( null );
this.setSize( new Dimension(400, 300) );
JTextField ch = new JTextField();
ch.setVisible(true);
ch.setBounds(10, 10, 10, 10);
this.add(ch, null);
DefaultTableModel tmodel = new DefaultTableModel(3, 1);
tmodel.setValueAt("0 0 1",0,0);
tmodel.setValueAt("1 0 1",1,0);
tmodel.setValueAt("2 0 1",2,0);
JTable custLayersTable = new JTable(tmodel);
custLayersTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).
setCellEditor(new ComboEditor());
custLayersTable.setBounds(new Rectangle(40, 40, 280, 145));
custLayersTable.setSurrendersFocusOnKeystroke(true);
this.add(custLayersTable, null);
public static void main(String[] args)
Frame1 a = new Frame1();
a.setVisible(true);
final class ComboEditor extends AbstractCellEditor
implements TableCellEditor
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table,
Object value,
boolean isSelected,
int row,
int column)
Vector<String> layerValSet = new Vector<String>();
for(int i=0; i<3; i++)
layerValSet.add(row+" "+column+" "+i);
mComboModel = new DefaultComboBoxModel(layerValSet);
mComboModel.setSelectedItem(value);
mEditorComp = new JComboBox(mComboModel);
return mEditorComp;
public Object getCellEditorValue()
return mEditorComp.getSelectedItem();
private DefaultComboBoxModel mComboModel;
private JComboBox mEditorComp;
}

Thanks a lot for your reply.
Since the textField is in a different class i could not use the transferFocus API directly. I tried the following code in the keyreleased event of Combo Box but it was not working.
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().focusNextComponent(
e.getComponent().getParent());
I also tried the following code in stopCellEditing and is not working.
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().focusNextComponent();
Is there any other way to achieve this?

Ctrl+Tab not working in Visual Studio 2013 in Remote Desktop

My PC is W81, and I'm RDing into a W7 machine running Visual Studio 2013 SP4.
When I press Ctrl+Tab (and hold), I very briefly see the usual editor window list come up, but it goes away and the editor does not switch.
If I hold Ctrl+Tab and let the repeat start, the same thing happens in rapid succession, but the current tab still never changes.
I have of course rebooted both client and server, and made sure my keyboard wasn't at fault and toggled all the keys. No dice.
Thanks.

Sorry, but that doesn't get me the original behavior, where I can tab through the list or double-tab, triple-tap TAB to visit the last, second to last, or third to last file I visited (or I could use the visual navigator). I frequently use these commands,
and it's really slowing me down.
Can I please get an admission this is a bug and a commitment to fix it?

I deleted the sign-in tab in Ctrl-Tab 0.21.1. How do I get it back?

I installed Ctrl-tab 0.21.1. Initially there were several tabs prefilled, one of which, was for sign-in. I made a mistake and deleted it and now I want to recover it. How do I do this? Thank you. Marsh

I tried installing several times and it did not work. Each time I downloaded it, and restarted the computer it went back to the web site you gave to down load. Each time I checked the Ctrl-Tab and the sign-in was not listed. Now I have done some further checking in the profile and it shows a blue dot in default, but none in on or off. I don't know if that makes a difference. In fact, when I down loaded it there was no difference between what I had and after the down load. In other words, what tabs I had when I first installed the Ctrl-tab did not appear, only the ones that I added, minus the sign-in tab, which I inadvertently deleted. I did remove Ctrl-tab before doing all this. Another thing I noticed is after restarting the computer it goes back to down load, but I do not get any indication that it is being installed. I hope this helps. Bruson

Ctrl+Tab has insufficient number of tab previews. Need more.
