“Next/Previous Tab” Keyboard Shortcuts on Mac

On my Mac, I use the following five programs with tabbed interfaces on a regular basis:

  • Firefox
  • Thunderbird
  • Adium
  • Terminal
  • Komodo IDE

And those programs implement the following five different keyboard shortcuts for switching to the previous/next tab:

  • Control + PageUp / PageDown (Firefox, Thunderbird)
  • Command + LeftArrow / RightArrow (Adium)
  • Command + PageUp / PageDown (Komodo IDE)
  • Command + Shift + [ / ] (Terminal)
  • Command + Shift + LeftArrow / RightArrow (Terminal)

Hrm.

  1. I've changed the Keybindings in Komodo to Cmd+Option+(Right|Left) to behave just like Firefox and Tbird. Also, I use iTerm2 which allows me to do the same.
