      @leocg sorry i was wrong- it is the Cycle forward/backward through tabs keyboard shortcut.

      See if this is a better picture

              @leocg what do you mean? I'm trying to select one of those tabs and then pull it up and go to that tab- to switch from that view of all my tabs to the tab page i want.

                @aderryb You use the keyboard shortcut to cycle through tabs until the one you want.

                  @leocg but once I have landed on the tab I want, how do I make it jump show that tab window? If I do nothing then it just sits there in that window. I can't select a tab to then open that tab/ jump to that tab window.

                    @aderryb You release the key, like you usually do with any keyboard shortcut.

                      @leocg I tried doing that, but it just stays in that window that I have screenshotted when i released the button, it doesn't jump to that tab. Is there a way i can attach a screen recording here to show?

                        @aderryb Nope, you would need to store it somewhere else and post the link here
