ralf3u created an issue (geany/geany#4275) **Foreword** If a lot of documents are open and if one want to switch to an other document (not to the previous tab, not to the next tab and also not to the last used tab), then it is easier to switch with a tab switcher than to tab-browse (with Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown) or than to use the mouse. So, the tab switcher is an indispensable tool when working with a lot of documents.
**Current situation** The tab switcher (Ctrl+Tab and hold Ctrl) shows only four items and the items are changing them position while tab switching with the Tab-key what is disturbing. The tab switcher is for me not user-friendly and completely useless. That is the reason why I use the shortcut Shift+F10 as tab switcher although the shown list of the shortcut Shift+F10 is a bug, according to https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/4267#issuecomment-2731107813. **Expectation of a second tab switcher** I expect - a list where only open documents are listed - the list should be centered in the Geany window, so horizontally and vertically. - the navigation should be exactly like the navigation when using the list that appears when right-clicking a tab-title (so, the navigation works with the arrow-up-key and the arrow-down-key). **Possible solution** 1) Copy paste the code of the current shortcut Shift+F10. 2) Delete those items of the list: ``` Open in New Window Close Close Other Documents Close Documents to the Right Close All ``` 3) Center the list in the Geany window, horizontally and vertically. 4) Add the name `Tab switcher 2` in the preferences, in keybindings in the folder `Notebook tab`, and add the name `switch_tab2=` in keybindings.conf. **System** Lubuntu 24.10 Geany 2.0 -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/4275 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
