Is there a shortcut to switch between tabs on Oracle SQL Developer?

Question

I'd like to be able to switch between 'Query Result' windows, and it's a pain having to use a pointer (mouse/touchpad) each time.

Solution 1

use Shift+F5 to go to the tab on the left

use Alt+Shift+F5 to go to the tab on the right

Solution 2

You can press Ctrl+Tab twice to switch between tabs in SQL Developer 4.1 on Linux.

Solution 3

Apparently no. See if you can create a new shortcut in Tools > Preferences > Shortcut Keys.

Solution 4

Use Ctrl+tab to shift between tabs in sql developer.

What version are you using? My 2.1.1.64 says Shortcut Keys instead of Accelerator.

Using 2.1.1.64, the keyboard shortcuts actually works, but in a rather buggy way, and not all tab types (EG, Query Results).

As of which version? The answers above indicate that it's not possible.

[tshepang]

works on version 3.0

+1 from me, but my opinion is this is useless knowledge :)

see @chrismarx answer for mac with current version

Works great in SQL Developer 4.1.3, this is the way to go. Shift-Cmd-] and [ assigned, as standard.

This is exactly I was looking for. I needed to switch between Connections and Worksheets.

I modified to Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDn as it was not assigned and most of the browsers support this. :)

Ah, big help! My question is why Oracle (and IBM) feel the need to make all their UIs so that they don't work/feel like 99% of the other UIs in Windows? I mean, really, why? If it was somehow better, maybe. But it's not, it's worse. I know, I'm barking in the dark here.

Why twice?! I see you're in the Linux world, but in every other app in Windows-land, Ctrl+Tab (once, yes, just once) is the quick way to navigate through tabs. I guess they do it because they can. :/

This is true for Windows as well, at least in v19.1
