Enable navigating sequentially through open query windows

Please enable navigating sequentially through tabs with ctrl+tab (forwards) and ctrl+shift+tab (backwards), matching the functionality of navigating through tabs in Google Chrome. It is much more cumbersome when you have many tabs open to have to count how many to the right or left you need to move so you can press and hold ctrl and then tab the right number of times. It should be possible to just move through the tabs one by one.

    Hello!
    FINALLY I was able to get this working after updating, as follows:
    On version 10.0.60
    1) Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard > Select the Oracle Sql Developer keyboard mapping scheme.
    2) The commands in question are: Window.NextTab and Window.PreviousTab
    If you want to set them to ctrl+Tab and ctrl+shift+tab respectively, due to an issue, you cannot do so in this window: when you click in the box "Press shortcut keys" and press either one of these combinations, it just goes to the next tab in the options window. You can get around this as follows:
    In file explorer (Windows 11), go to:

    %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Devart\dbForge Studio for MySQL\ShortcutSchemes

    3) Open OracleSqlDeveloper.xml in a text editor
    4) Find the relevant commands and define as follows:

    <Shortcut Name="NextTab" Group="Standard" FirstKey="Control+Tab" />
    <Shortcut Name="PreviousTab" Group="Standard" FirstKey="Control+Shift+Tab" />

    5) save and exit
    6) restart dbForge Studio for MySQL

    Voila. NOW it works.

    Also note that, conveniently, the native behavior of control+tab and control+shift+tab automatically switches to control+pageup and control+pagedown after making this change.

    Good morning!
    It does not work according to my suggestion. Allow me to clarify.
    If you open any web browser, when you repeatedly press ctrl+tab, you are navigated SEQUENTIALLY from left to right through your open tabs. This is not the case in dbForge Studio for MySQL. Instead, it jumps you all over the place in the order of your _last viewed_ tabs. This is extremely annoying. Please allow an option in the key bindings to navigate sequentially from left to right, or right to left, through the open tabs / windows. Oracle SQL Developer and SSMS both allow this.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your patience on this request!

    Kindly note that ctrl+tab (forward) and ctrl+shift+tab (backward) work for switching tabs on the release version.

    If it's not working for you, please let us know.

    Best,
    Devart Support Team
