Description Narayan 2016-07-24 18:49:48 UTC

There should be separate keyboard shortcutrs to switch between left/right tabs and between tabs.

Suggested shortcuts:
1. TAB to switch  (toggle) between the left/right panes.
2. CTRL+1, CTRL+2, etc to jump to a particular tab.
3. CTRL+PageUp and CTRL+PageDown to move to the left/right tab.

Reproducible: Always

Ctrl+[1..3] is already taken to toggle between preview icons, list- and tree-view
Tab and Ctrl-Tab should work to some extent ... only you can't tab out of a F4 Konsole, as tab is used for completion.

I suggest F6 to toggle between left and right side. Especially the selection per side has to be preserved, which is a pain in the ass when activating the inactive side with a mouse-click. To edit the location, there is still the widely known Ctrl+L in place as a redundant fallback.

Switching with Tab has been implemented at least in 17.04.3 ...

I prefer Alt+1, Alt+2, etc. It's more consistent with Firefox behaviour and it is also what I'm used to from using GTK+-based file managers.

Can we have this?

#171743 is about adding a keyboard shortcut to change split-view focus.

This issue is about adding more shortcut options to change to a specific tab. They don't belong to the same issue.
