Changing tab in the new Safari 3!
There is a new way to change tab in the new Safari 3 that is included with Leopard that makes it much easier. There was already a shortcut for changing tab that worked in Safari 2 and the beta of Safari 3. The shortcut was "Command - Shift - Left or right arrow". That still works, but the disadvantage is that it doesn't work if your cursor is in a text box. The more standard shortcut that also works in Camino and Firefox is "Option - Command - Right or left arrow". This really cool shortcut that works even though you are in a text box now finally works in the Leopard version of Safari.

Hello,
I found your website today and I really like your focus.
I tried your tip for Safari 3 tabs.
"Option - Command - Right or left arrow"., and this key combination does not work at all for me.
I use the key combination of " Command - Shift - Right or Left Bracket". This seems to work even if the cursur is in a text box on a website.

Are you on Leopard?
Hi, I have to agree with kanoo. I'm using Leopard, and your shortcut doesn't work for switching tabs. It has the same effect as hitting Command + Right/Left Arrow, which will show the previous page or the next page in Safari.
kanoo's shortcut works for me, though.
If your cursor is in a text field you can always use shift, command ad right or left square brackets to move between tabs.
ops that had already been mentioned by Michael! Sorry dude, didn't see that!
Yeah, this doesn't work. I hate having to hold down Command and Shift AND hitting another key... I wish it could just be Command and one other key - like Firefox (Commmand + 1 opens first tab, Command + 2 opens the second tab, etc.)
It's a shame you can't just ctrl-tab though the tabs (ctrl-shift-tab to back scroll) like you can in firefox.
same goes for Camino...
I'm running Leopard and it doesn't work for me either. Does anyone know of a keyboard shortcut (other then holding down the title bar and crtl + arrow) to move a window to another space?
If you have cocoasuite, then you can program the menu shortcuts of command-shift-left/right arrow to command-option-right/left arrow. It works fine, and even if you don't have leopard, it does it in a text box.
i dunno about keyboard shortcuts, but you can move a window by just dragging it to the edge of your screen. if you wait a few seconds, it'll shift to whatever space you're moving toward.
The CMD-Opt-Shift-Arrow shortcut works for me on my Macbook with Leopard. I'm really glad too, because it was driving me up the f'ing wall !
Thanks for the tip !
Hi all,
i have macos 10.4 with safari 3.1 and it is so simple to move across tabs... just use Command+ Arrow!
Just like that!
(off course it doesnt work in text boxes)
Bye!
I'm using OS X 10.6.1 with Safari 4.0.3.
The current shortcut for switching tabs is
Command+Shift+arrow
This is not according to the shortcut listed in "Window" menu in Safari. There is says to use Control+arrow to switch. But that is generally already assigned to Spaces.
