Shortcut for selecting the tab above / below the currently selected one?

[simovicaleksa]

It would be cool to add a keyboard shortcut for selecting tab above/below the currently selected one. Switching tabs on Zen using CTRL + 1 / 2 / 3 is not intuitive since this shortcut mimics horizontal tabs, while on the other hand, Zen tabs are vertical. My proposition is to create a keyboard shortcut (for example ALT + Arrow_Up and ALT + Arrow_Down) for shifting the currently selected tab by one above or below it.

This feature would greatly enhance the tab navigation experience with Zen, and I am sure many people would agree with me.

Navigating to the adjacent tabs is available (though non-intuitive in the vertical layout) since its hard-coded at the FF codebase level. The shortcuts are: Cmd+Opt+LeftArrow and Cmd+Opt+RightArrow on macos.

Hmm, maybe it's a MacOS thing. Cmd+Opt+Arrow_Left should be Ctrl+Alt+Left in Windows, but that does not switch tabs for me.

please see the common shortcuts for firefox (which should be the same for Zen): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly?redirectslug=Keyboard+shortcuts&redirectlocale=en-US#w_navigation

Documentation did the trick, shortcut is CTRL + Page_Up / Page_Down. Thank you.

Does Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab work for you? It seems it should do the trick...
