On Mac I can switch tabs in Chrome using Cmd+Alt+LeftCursor/RightCursor.

On Windows I have to use Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab.

How can I use Alt+Ctrl+LeftCursor/RightCursor on Windows?

It'd be ace if this could work in other programs too, not just in Chrome.

I have Windows 10.

  • CTRL-Tab, CTRL-Shift-Tab can be pressed with the left hand on the left hand side of the keyboard. Also one hand.

  • Why would it take two hands? All three keys are within less than 5 cm of each other.

  • I would use the thumb to press CTRL optionally shift, and the index finger for the tab.

  • There is no need of using two hands for Ctrl+Tab. Thumb and index finger is more than enough.

    I don't think there is a built-in solution. You need to use a 3rd party app, like autohotkey to change shortcuts.

In addition to Ctrl+(Shift+)Tab, you can also use Ctrl+Page Up/Page Down to navigate your tabs. Both shortcuts work in most browsers and most tabbed user interfaces you encounter in Windows.

Additionally, you can close tabs using Ctrl+W in most browsers.

Cmd on macOS is generally very similar to Ctrl on Windows.
