Subject: quick tab access in konqueror
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-devel&m=106008020224844

Hello all,

When browsing with konqueror, I really love using tabs. Something I'm missing 
though is a shortcut to access a tab quickly. In GNOME, mozilla and windows, 
it's possible to quickly switch tab with <ctrl><pgup> and <ctrl><pgdown>. 
This seems to work for all tab widgets.

In konsole it is possible to switch tab with <ctrl><left> and <ctrl><right>. 
<ctrl><pgup> and <ctrl><pgdown> are used for scrolling up and down whole 
pages at a time. gnome-terminal does not seem to have a shortcut for this.

In Qt and KDE, tab often have an accelerator (alt+letter) for accessing a tab. 
For consistent quick access to tabs in konqueror, this approach could be 
followed. The easiest way of adding accelerators to tabs would be to number 
the tabs and access them with alt-1 etc. The tab number should be preceded 
with the tab number, which costs a bit of space on the tab bar.

What do you think of this approach?
