A couple of weeks ago I learned a really great shortcut for Chrome that I really enjoy using. It is about jumping between tabs by only using my keyboard. Yes, I knew how to switch to certain tabs using Cmd + a number, like Cmd + 3, to switch to the third tab, but I usually have a lot of tabs open and there are no sufficient single digit integers that I can use to switch to those tabs. Aside from that, I am also not sure about the number, so I needed to learn this new shortcut. At least, I know that I needed, as I have found it very helpful, and I hope that you will find it helpful too.
This shortcut is Cmd + Option + Right Arrow and Cmd + Option + Right Arrow. If you are using Windows, the equivalent shortcut is Ctrl + Tab and and Ctrl + Shift + Tab.
That’s it. This way, you can easily navigate to different tabs without having to move your hand from your keyboard and use your mouse. I believe, one of the reasons why Vim is so famous is because of the flexibility and the usefulness that it comes just by using your keyboard shortcuts.
I hope it saves you a lot of time and gives you a smile when you notice for the first time how useful it is.
