Shortcut for next active tab

Post by NoidPurity »

Hi and thank's for a nice client.

I just miss a function and that is a shortcut to choose the next active tab in the "chat-window".
Say that i have 5 people in tabs in the chat-window and the first one is market and then the number 4 writes something, then i just want to press a shortcut and come to that tab.
Like "ctrl+tab" in Pidgin.

Is that possible? I just find "Next call" and bind it to ctrl+tab but It's just goes to the next tab so i have to press it 4-times to come to the latest "active tab".

I would like this as well. This is the one thing that might actually drive me back to another client. It's not uncommon for me to have 20-30 tabs open, and the Adium UI just doesn't handle that very well.

Great!

Thats the funktion i'm after, but can't i lock it just for Adium? Because If i use the same shortcut in other programs then, adium will become active?

No, because that is the whole point of the feature. But you can just set it to a combo you don't use in any other applications, for instance by using two modifier keys.
