[Poll] Selecting keys for switching tabs

Postby CintaNotes Developer » Mon Jan 14, 2013 11:03 am

Current key combinations for switching tabs Ctrl+Left/Right conflict with a widely used key combination for word-wise text navigation, thus
disabling ability to jump by word in the search box.

Here we are setting up a poll to determine which option would be the best.
Please pick an option and help resolve our doubts!
Thanks!

Hi Alex, I don't see CTRL+TAB in your list.
Why not, very easy and intuitive CTRL+TAB ?

Kazak, good catch!! This is actually a standard windows key to switch between tabs. It is not used in the search-box, nor in the notes list. Only the editor uses it, but that does not affect the request here. Alex, i suggest to edit the poll. Ctrl+Tab/Shift+Ctrl+Tab or Alt+PgDn/PgUp seem to be more appropriate than Ctrl+/ or Ctrl+,/.

I thought, It is reserved for future, but not just forgotten. ;)

Ok seems we have our winner :)
Will be included in 2.0.2 final.
However I'd still like to use Ctrl+Left/Right, so you'll be able to enable it in the settings file.

Done - in version 2.0.2 you can use Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab for tab switching.
(If you want old behavior with Ctrl+Left/Right, set sectionbar.keys.ctrlleftright.enabled to 1 in cintanotes.settings)

I want to confirm how smooth it is to use the new Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab key combinations. :D Even with a one hander ;) Definitely the right choice. I am also able to use Ctrl+Left/Right in the searchbox again. :D
