Close Tab And Move Left

Help & Support
1

Hello,

when I run the close tab command as follows:

go tabclose

the tab closes and then moves to the next tab on THE RIGHT. How do I change the command in order to move to the next tab on the left?

AFAIK you can't but it seems like a reasonable feature request to sent to GPSoftware.

OK, I could submit a request...

Thanks for the reply, a quick question:

I tried to use this sequence -

go tabclose
go tabselect -1

however, this causes it to move 2 tabs to the left when you close the furthest tab on the right. it also creates an issue if the tab is furthest left.

so, I was wondering, in there a way to put an IF / ELSE statement in here to check and see if the current tab is furthest right / left in order to selectively apply the 2nd line above (go tabselect -1)

Thanks!

No, not in this case, at least that I can think of.

Personally - I'd like to see (and have submitted a feature request for once or twice already in the past) a fuller set of tab close options such as is offered by other apps with tabs...

i.e. - my specific request was for an option to always return to the "last active tab" whenever closing a tab - which is actually what seems to happen most of the time - as opposed to Opus intentionally going to the next tab to the right... but there are some cases where this DOESN'T happen; and instead, it goes to the next tab to the left sort of how like you want it to do all the time. Anyhow - I think options for tabclose to do any of the three makes sense:

1.) goto last active tab
2.) goto next tab to the left
3.) goto next tab to the right
