Description Martín Cigorraga 2013-02-21 04:17:15 UTC

It would be very comfortable to browse the different opened tabs using the <Shift> + arrow key combination as we are used to do with Konsole.
This way changing between feeds lists and the actually opened tabs would be much faster, easier and comfortable than pushing the mouse and traying to click them.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
There's no way to switch tabs in a smooth way with the keyboard.


It would be great to be able to navigate tabs using the keyboard <Shift> + arrow keys as seen in Konsole/Yakuake.

The tabbar in akregator uses the stock KDE shortcuts for switching. Konsole is the exception. (because some commandline programs can use these default shortcuts)

Most apps from the KDE community:
<Ctrl >+<tab> for next tab.
<Ctrl >+<shift>+<tab> for previous tab.

You can change these shortcuts if you want.
In akregator: Settings -> Configure Shortcuts
For all applications: System Settings -> Shortcuts and Gestures -> Standard Keyboard Shortcuts

Please use the forums or irc if you have further questions.
Thanks
