Bug ID: 86404
Summary: use Ctrl+TAB to switch between tabs/sheets
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Libreoffice

use Ctrl+TAB to switch between tabs/sheets
When using Calc with multiple sheets I often switch between sheets to check
results. For instance switch between a week/month/year and a total sheet, or
between a data and graph sheet. Or sometimes to repeatedly copy content fromn
one sheet to another.
Crl+TAB would allow to quickly go to the last used tab/sheet (and back), in a
similar way as Alt+TAB switches between applications.
At this moment:
there is no function to switch to last used sheet/tab.
Nor can the TAB-key be assigned to any function or Macro
CTRL+TAB is used in dialop Windows as next tab key
I think switching to last tab is a very natural use of Ctrl+TAB in programs
withj tabs. In firefox it is now built in though not yet activated by default.
(goto about:config, search: "ctrl", Double-click browser.ctrlTab.previews to
set its value to true). The advantage of Ctrl+Tab is you can easily operate it
with one hand, without letting go of the mouse.
A VARIATION:
Ctrl+TAB switches between last used Libre documents, or between last used tab
sheets within a Libre document, whatever was done last.
(In Libre Office there are no keys to switch documents at the time. But you can
switch to another LO document with the Window-menu.)
A slight limitation is this would not work within a writer table as ctrl+tab is
used in tables to insert a tabspace (use ctrl+shift+tab here instead). Stil it
is nice to be able to switch between libre documents independently of Alt+Tab
which was originally meant for switching applications not documents. In an OS
like Ubuntu it is somewhat cumbersome to get it to switch between documents as
it has not taskbar and Alt+tab swithes to the next application rahter than the
next document.
If LO ever goes to implement document tabs like Lotus Symphony (I love those)
this would be even more logical.
