How to change tab in Google Chrome with the keyboard, in Ubuntu

Question

In OSX, you can browse tabs in browsers by Ctrl+ N/p or similar. I have not found any keys in Ubuntu 14.04.

How can you browse tabs of browsers by keyboard in Ubuntu?

Solution 1

In Chrome and Firefox both we have to press Ctrl+ Number

E.g. If you want to go to the tab then you have to press Ctrl+3

You can also use Alt instead of Ctrl - i.e. Alt+3.

Solution 2

Most shortcuts in other systems also apply:

Ctrl + TAB = next tab

Ctrl + Shift + TAB = previous tab

Ctrl + T = new tab

Ctrl + W = close tab

Ctrl + Shift + T = reopen last closed tab

Solution 3

In addition to the answers already given: Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDn should also work to switch tabs forth and back.

Solution 4

You can find full list of shortcuts for Chrome here

Worth to mention from the list (which wasn't mentioned here yet):

Jump to the last tab Ctrl + 9

Not related to Ubuntu, but just in addition to your question, it is also possible to navigation between tabs in OSX with fn + Ctrl+ ⌃ or fn + Ctrl + ⌃

Great! Any keyboard binding for back and forth?

Assume you have 30 tabs. You will be in trouble in moving your fingers in each tab. I really would like to have previous and next -movements for tabs.

use ctrl+tab and ctrl+tab+shift

This should be the accepted answer

shift+ctrl+tab also handles previous closed tab. Is there any option for previous current tab?

[hunch]

ctrl+shift+t handles the previously closed tab.

@Masi The same goes for me. I never bothered with Ctrl+Tab etc.

Ctrl + 1 to 8 switches to tab 1 to 8, but Ctrl + 9 switches to the last tab

[MichaelChirico]

what about my 12th tab TT

[Johannes Lemonde]

Ctrl + PagegUp/PageDown also work
