GNOME Finally Supports Ctrl+Tab For Switching Tabs

[marcoms]

Gedit works fine...

Ctrl+T opens a new document (in a new tab), Ctrl+N opens a new gedit window. All is OK.

Using gedit 3.14 right now.

I know the ui slimmed down, but in Gnome can you open a terminal in the current directory like other file managers, and if so, how?

Sure.

Ironically, when you had to set keybind for 'Open Terminal' you had to dig through configuration files manually, something that is right outside GNOME's target audience level. Is having a hotkey for this is considered too advanced?

In GNOME 3.14, you can set a custom launcher with a custom shortcut key in keyboard panel in settings. I haven't checked in previous versions.

I'm a bit disappointed... The commit have been reverted because Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab is already used for accessibility shortcut.

To those who use Ctrl+PgUp/PgDown, I'd strongly advise you to use an MRU tab plugin for your Firefox (ala Alt+Tab and Alt+Shift+Tab for the windows), you'll see how useless and old age is the PgUp/PgDown solution.

Edit> Actually simply setting "browser.ctrlTab.previews" to true in about:config seems to be enough to enable MRU behavior.
