Hot Keys to switch between open tabs #95

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I would like to see a hot key to be able to switch between open connections - 

Now, open connections can be opened up in split views leading to two groups of 
tabs - 

Group 1: Tabs within a view
Group 2: Tabs across all views

When working using superPutty, one often runs into the situation where there a 
number of tabs open in a number of views. 

Instead of having to use the mouse while using these connections, I would like 
the option of staying with my keyboard while effectively switching between tabs.

The proposal is the following - 

Ctrl + Tab | Ctrl + Shift + Tab: Go back and forth between connections that 
belong to Group 1

Ctrl + PgUp | Ctrl + PgDwn : Go back and forth between all open connection 
across all views (i.e Group 2).

This in my opinion is a very necessary feature - more relevant than visual 
optimization.

Thanks!

Ctrl-PgUp, CtrlPgDwn, Shift-PgUp adn Shift-PgDwn are actually used by PutTTY to 
scroll the screen backwards and forwards by a line or page. I don't think we 
can steal those keys, there are bound to be users who love that feature.

I'll start by supporting Ctrl-Tab, Ctrl-Shift-Tab to move between the sessions 
of a single instance of SuperPuTTY and Ctrl-F4 to close a session. That usage 
fits in with standard Windows look and feel.

Anything else would require some completely cusomisable mechanism where you 
could associate the key of your choice with a particular function - tabbing or 
closing or... All that would be a lot of work for little gain.

There is an issue though about ordering and what is considered to be the next 
or previous. Are tabs in the order they were opened, used, left to right and 
top to bottom (or for Japanese and Arabic countries right to left...)

That is a good point. I am moving over from Linux, so I'm used to the Ctrl+Pg 
Up/Down environment. But keeping everything you said in mind, I agree with the 
ctrl+tab and ctrl+shift+tab proposed behavior.

As far as order of cycling the tabs is concerned, a minimal implementation 
should have tabs being cycled Left->Right in order of layout of tabs (other 
options can be eventually added)

Having a hot key to switch back and forth between the most recently opened tab 
and currently open tab is also a good idea. 

Thanks.
