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.
