      Key shortcuts for moving between tabs doesn't work as expected: 'shift + ctrl + tab' and 'ctrl + tab'. I press these keys quickly, I don't hold one and press another (I've mapped shortcuts to my mouse additional keys) It switches between totally random tabs but I expect it should switch between tabs next to one another in one context. I have 5 contexts with about 20 tabs each. In another chromium based web browsers these shortcuts works ok.

        @bilu2 Did you uncheck the setting to cycle tabs in recent used order?

          @leocg I didn't. I've unchecked it now and it is working as I've expected. I didn't know about this setting. Maybe it shouldn't be checked as default? It is confusing. Thanks for your help.

            @bilu2 That's one of Opera's special features that a lot of users like. Ctrl + tab and ctrl + shift + tab are tied to the "Cycle forward through tabs" and "Cycle backward through tabs" commands respectively. Opera has separate "Switch right through tabs" and "Switch left through tabs" tied to ctrl + pageDown and ctrl + pageUp respectively for what you would consider the normal way. Goto the URL opera://settings/keyboardShortcuts to see. You can actually edit the shortcuts tied to the commands if you want to fix things to your liking if you wanted to keep the "Cycle tabs in most recently used order" option on in settings.
