Description: It should be possible to switch by Ctrl+Tab (Ctrl-Tab) to the most recently used (MRU) tab in Calc similar to the behavior of Alt+Tab on Windows or KDE Plasma. Firefox supports switching between tabs in most recently used order by Ctrl+Tab as well. There is an option in the settings to enable it. KDE Text Kate or Visual Studio Code support Ctrl+Tab in MRU order by default. If Ctrl+Tab is hold a moment, a tab selection should be shown to choose older tabs (similar to Firefox, Windows or KDE Plasma). I suggest to add an option for enabling Ctrl+Tab MRU order as in Firefox. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new spreadsheet with 5 tabs in Calc with names #1, #2, ... #5 3. Click on tab #5 4. Click on tab #2 5. Click on tab #4 6. Click on tab #1 7. Press Ctrl+Tab (with release) 8. Press Ctrl+Tab (with release) 9. Press Ctrl+Tab (with release) 10. Press and hold Ctrl+Tab Actual Results: 7. Tab #2 is activated 8. Tab #3 is activated 9. Tab #4 is activated 10. Tab #5 is activated Expected Results: 7. Tab #4 is activated 8. Tab #1 is activated 9. Tab #4 is activated 10. A tab selection overview (overlay) is shown which displays the tabs in most recent used order (as for Winodws, KDE Plasma or Firefox) Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.0.3.1 Build ID: 00(Build:1) CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.3; UI render: GL; VCL: kf5 Locale: de-CH (en_US.UTF-8); UI: de-DE Calc: threaded
I also recommend adding this feature. It is very helpful, and particularly when there are many sheets and having long names/titles.
Also, after reaching to the last sheet by pressing the Ctrl+PgDn, the first sheet should get activated; and after reaching to the first sheet by pressing Ctrl+PgUp, the last sheet should get activated.
Let's do it. But please optional, since some people might struggle with this behavior like me (cannot use alt+tab in VSCode, for example). Could this be an interesting easy hack? => needsDevAdvice
> Could this be an interesting easy hack? I do not think so. It needs some sort of a GUI overlay where all the tabs are shown in most recently used (MRU) order like in Alt-Tab in your operating system (KDE, Windows, ...). Such a GUI overlay seems to be something new in LibreOffice. Copy/Paste and adapting code will not work. At least, it would need starting points or guidance from experienced GUI developers.
