Shortcut for next active tab

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.

You can use the global shortcut to jump to active chats.

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.
