Fix weird tab cycling in Sublime Text 2
By default, CTRL-TAB and SHIFT-CTRL-TAB don’t operate in the same way that Google Chrome tab cycling does. For example, when you press CTRL-TAB it doesn’t always cycle to the next open document. Here’s how to restore normal tabbing functionality.
Tools:
- 1 ea Sublime Text 2
1Access the settings for Key Bindings – User
This can be found under preferences.
2Add the following
When your key bindings/keymap settings file opens up, add the following between the open and close brackets. { "keys": ["ctrl+tab"], "command": "next_view" }, { "keys": ["ctrl+shift+tab"], "command": "prev_view" }
Note:
Be sure to place this in the Key Bindings – User file; if you edit the System file, it will be overwritten when you update Sublime.
3Save and close the file
Since you’ve edited the Key Bindings – User preferences file, your settings will be saved even when you update Sublime.
