I have to agree with Luca. GTK+ applications switch tabs with the mouse scroll wheel, which is probably the fastest way if you have your right hand on the mouse anyway. I _do_ support a possibility to reprogram the tab switching keycombo's though. If only for people who use a left handed mouse, weird laptop keyboard, etc. > I think that's a bit limiting, but even if we were to accept it as > true, we can still say that on a full keyboard, ctrl+page up/down > requires you to shift your right-hand considerably away from home row, > making it fairly inconvenient. Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn to switch tabs is hard wired in my head so I may be biased, but based on my own experience it's not inconvenient at all. regards, -- Reinout van Schouwen _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list Usability@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
