[gentoo-user] Tab stepping order in Pale Moon

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

Recent discussion of Pale Moon has inspired me to try it (actually www-
client/palemoon-bin). It seems fine, except for one annoying feature. I 
usually have several tabs open at a time and I want to step between them 
with the keyboard, but it has a bizarre method of deciding which tab to go 
to next. I've had a look in about:config but not found anything relevant.

Is there a way to fix the stepping so that it goes 1, 2, 3, 4, ... ?

One other thing: when I restart my KDE desktop, Pale Moon doesn't restart. 
Should it?

Regards,
Peter.

Neither does Chromium, which was easily remedied by adding it to the
autostart list in systemsettings.

This is as bad as it can get; but don't bet on it.

Which key are you trying to use for this?

I use either Control+PageUp/PageDown to move in cyclic fashion, or
Alt+1, Alt+2 etc. to switch directly to a particular tab.  Both work as
I expect.

Ctrl-Tab or Ctrl-Shift-Tab, as in any other tabbed window I know of.

I didn't know about those - another key sequence to learn. Thanks Ian.
