`switch tab, to next` now works the same as `switch tab, simply to next` (regression)

[hiiamboris]

This just recently worked fine in 1.194.0.0 but not in 1.195.0.5 - switch tab, to next showed a menu and defaulted to the next most recent tab used. You guys should use a tests suite or smth, as every new build brings more regressions than fixes ;)

[hiiamboris]

I changed the Ctrl-Tab hotkey to use switch tab, show dialog. But really this is annoying that things constantly break, makes me afraid updating it ;)

[hiiamboris]

What's the difference between all these tab switch modes by the way? Are there any docs? I've been always confused by so many commands working the same way. simply to next vs to next, and dialog vs what was previously to next and to previous (all worked the same).

switch tab, to next + dialog - on 1.194 - it was nice… but why to show something at GUI, if I want to simply switch to next tab, directly… that dialog is/was useful, if I want to trace over list (holding Ctrl) so, change is logical to me… even if I like previous behavior…

from my point of view - not regression, just missing note at history.txt : - )

Probably :) But if previously I didn't see the difference between switch tab, dialog, switch tab, to next and switch tab, to previous, now I don't see it between switch tab, to next/switch tab, to previous and switch tab, simply to next/switch tab, simply to previous. Complicated stuff :)

switch tab, dialog - useful if you have open groups… on groups, without that dialog - you must to define another shortcut for focus next group…

thanks for report. yes I see that 'switch tab to next' now shows dialog, and i remember before it worked w/o dialog. will work on it.

wait, in 1.195 we had this change

* change: default of "show_last_line_on_top" changed to False, default of "ui_tab_switcher_dialog" changed to False, default of "bracket_highlight" changed to True (thanks @z4ziggy)

so before in 1.194.0, command 'switch tab to next' did show the dialog. and now with changed default of ui_tab_switcher_dialog it does not. not bug! only changed default!

remedy: write to user.json

"ui_tab_switcher_dialog": true

about our docs (ie Wiki). i may write about 'switch tab' commands to https://wiki.freepascal.org/CudaText#Tab_switcher

i see it's OK place for this text.

I feel like idiot now… totally overlook this change @Alexey-T - for the future - please separate these settings/variables to more lines (one line per one setting)

Miroslav, i will try (if won't forget).

@hiiamboris i added this text to mentioned wiki part:

Command Palette has several commands to switch current ui-tab:

• "ui: switch tab, to next": If option "ui_tab_switcher_dialog" is true, command shows this dialog with suggestion to activate next tab (using visit history). If option is off, command just activates the next ui-tab ignoring the visit history.
• "ui: switch tab, to previous": Like above but in reverse order.
• "ui: switch tab, simply to next": Activates the next ui-tab, ignoring the visit history. (It considers only visual order of ui-tabs).
• "ui: switch tab, simply to previous": Like above but in reverse order.
• "ui: switch tab, to recent": Activates the ui-tab previously activated in visit history.

[hiiamboris]

How is "reverse order" supposed to work with "visit history order"?

[Alexey-T]

good question. seems correct docs must be :

• "ui: switch tab, to next": If option "ui_tab_switcher_dialog" is true, command shows menu-like dialog with suggestion to activate recent tab (using visit history). If option is off, command just activates the next ui-tab ignoring the visit history. "ui: switch tab, to previous": If option "ui_tab_switcher_dialog" is true, command shows menu-like dialog with suggestion to activate recent tab (using visit history). If option is off, command just activates the previous ui-tab ignoring the visit history.
