Missing Shortcut to Switch to Last Active Tab

[msh4izee]

Currently, the Zen browser lacks a keyboard shortcut to switch back to the last active tab. While there are shortcuts available to navigate directly to specific tabs (e.g., Ctrl + 1 for Tab 1, Ctrl + 2 for Tab 2, etc.), there is no dedicated shortcut to toggle between the current tab and the previously active tab.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open multiple tabs in the browser.
   

2. Switch from one tab (e.g., Tab 1) to another (e.g., Tab 2).
   

3. Attempt to return to the previously active tab (Tab 1) using a keyboard 
   

Expected Behavior

There should be a keyboard shortcut (similar to Ctrl + Tab or Ctrl + Shift + Tab in other browsers) that allows users to quickly toggle between the current tab and the last active tab.
Actual Behavior

No such shortcut exists, forcing users to manually click on the desired tab or use the Ctrl + shortcuts to switch to a specific tab.

Impact

This limitation can be inconvenient, especially for users like frontend developers who frequently need to toggle between two tabs—such as switching between a design file (e.g., Figma) and a live project preview. The absence of this feature increases the time and effort required for repetitive tasks, reducing productivity.
Suggested Solution

Implement a keyboard shortcut to switch to the last active tab. Common conventions in other browsers include:

Ctrl + Tab: Switch to the next most recently used tab.
Ctrl + Shift + Tab: Switch to the previous most recently used tab.

Alternatively, allow users to customize this shortcut via the browser's settings to accommodate personal preferences.

switching tabs baaed on history of usage is already a preference.
ctrl+tab and ctrl+shift+tab does behave how you explained

Worth noting is that you need to enable the Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order setting under General for it to work as expected.

And with that said, would be nice to be able to change that shortcut. :)

But the problem is that you can't rebind that shortcut.
