For the record (because I just looked it up, as I also have this problem): it's ctrl+tab, but only if you enable "Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order" in Settings first.
Also, usually, ctrl + shift + tab goes the opposite way
Default behavior is for psychopaths.
I'm so confused every time I use a new browser.
Ok that's incredible. I'm gonna get so lost now I've changed that setting. Magnificent
It’s so odd to me that this isn’t the default behaviour for all browsers especially Edge. It’s literally alt+tab behaviour but for some reason browser designers decided it wouldn’t work that way.
i know that you're suffering but, still, thanks for the laughter ! @interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml
Dude answered his own question. Click random tab -> drag current tab off the window -> window returns to previous tab without any tabs being closed.
Unhinged behavior nonetheless
Control+Shift+T restores the last closed tab. That solution works lol (but it really feels like it shouldn't)
Best start a new tab and Google whatever you were looking at.
jesus. just use bookmarks.
Would Jesus' bookmark be shaped like a cross (morbid) or a fish (practical)?
jesus looks like a slip of paper kinda guy
Crtl + L to go to address bar, type % then a space, then the tab you looking for. Will search open tabs
Helpful, but only works if I remember the name of the tab.
It's either Facebook or Facebook.
Or TvTropes
My point exactly
This is why tab search is a thing 😭
But all I remember is that it was a possibly interesting page about the problem I'm dealing with. I have 42 tabs open on the same site, and none of them have useful names. If I google it I'll end up with about 52 uselessly names tabs.
It is cathartic closing an entire window fullof tabs when the problem is dealt with though. You can almost hear the machine sigh as it releases a big chunk of memory.
What do browsers even let you do this? I feel like it should cap out at like 200 max. Nobody even needs 200 but there's got to be some kind of limit somewhere.
200 is newbie numbers.
Damn, I start getting overwhelmed at 10
I had fifty open one day after working a tech related bug. I wasn't getting anywhere so I closed it out and switched search engines. Less than thirty minutes later I and found a solution.
Too many tabs is a huge distraction. Its also a common thing to see if you are working tech support for a organization. I've seen well over a hundred tabs open on some users browsers.
If you can bg inactive tabs they just become another type of bookmark, because they don't the up any memory
Then use bookmarks. We shouldn't design around people using products completely incorrectly.
Tabs are part checklist. If I use bookmarks, they go out of siht, out of mind. As tabs there's a reminder to resolve the topic.
Homie if you have over 200 items on a checklist you aren't doing half that shit.
No, some items have a dozen tabs associated, and others are recurring tasks.
I only have maybe 15 topics in my tabs, half are waiting on something else to be resolved, and a sixth are videos to be watched.
Had to check if this was a post from adhsmemes group.
That seems perfectly reasonable. That is little more than 100 tabs per window. I routinely have more than 500 tabs per window. Currently, I have 3 windows open with a rough total of 15000 tabs
Why?
ADHD is like that.
No, it's really not. That's a gross inability to let things go, not forgetting you found something intersting once.
Fine AD4K is like that.
can I watch an intervention for a tab addict
surely bookmark exist, why not bookmark your opened page ?
i remembered my old friend who has tons of chrome tab filled with porn
Meanwhile when I was looking for a new browser a bit back I tried finding one without a tab feature at all lol
How much ram do they have?
in case you're not aware: modern browsers don't actually keep all tabs loaded all the time.
all of it
I was wondering why I couldn't find mine. I figured I just had short term memory loss.
Ah you probably rebooted before saving it to long term storage :P
