yep, it does but you are already switching to that tab which is not the same behavior as alt+tab. say that you have 15 open tabs in firefox and you want the one containing the obscure website that you found that has the solution to your problem (in my line of work this usually happens). if we rely on ctrl+tab then we would have to cycle from the current tab moving forward until we hit the correct tab. if you are already near the end of the tab order then you will have to cycle back. you can halve the number of tabs you need to cycle by pressing ctrl+<number> (guesswork is needed), or just clicking the closest tab you think contains that page. ang gulo ba? clair: yup, not all uses alt+tab but im just thinking out loud. the probability of a non-techie employing this feature is not that impossible. :D ciao! > > On 6/17/05, Anuerin Diaz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On 6/17/05, Sarah Escandor-Tomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > hi clair, > > > > > > Clair Ching wrote: > > > > Hi, Sarah! =) > > > > > > > > On 6/17/05, Sarah Escandor-Tomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > >>hi ching, > > > >> > > > > > > <snip> > > > > > > yeah... i observed that too ... it's funny that others would prefer > > > several browsers open than tabbed browsing > > > > > <snip> > > > > i have one viable reason: alt+tab, at least if we are talking about > > windows here then when you alt+tab you will see which browser is > > currently tuned to what website. you cant have that with a tabbed > > application. the closest thing i know for firefox is control+<number> > > (unless there is a firefox extension that i am not aware of) but that > > is still tedious especially if you have a lot of tabs open. > > > > > > ciao! > > > > -- > > > > "Programming, an artform that fights back" > > > > Anuerin G.
