Bug Description

It would be useful if one could change the CTRL+TAB behavior. Currently LinuxDC++ uses logical order (i.e. navigates by the apparent order of the tabs). One alternative would be to use Z-order (i.e. more like ALT+TAB in Windos)

This type of tab navigation would be confusing for most users without some type of visual indication of the tabbing order as Alt+Tab on Windows does (which would not be easy to implement). Plus, I know of no other GTK+ app that implements this. Sorry, we won't be implementing this.

Changed in linuxdcpp:

YA????
And what about DC++, Apexdc, StrongDC, or fucking Fly, Pelink, Zion... They are all can change the tabs appear order on CTRL+TAB.

It's a wish, not a bug. It's not important but many people need it. Set it to a very low importance and save as to do, please.

Request for CTRL+F4 closing was in separate bug #355167. I changed the request to configurable keyboard shortcuts (as CTRL+W already closes the tab). Though it seems that the configurable shortcuts isn't very common in GTK apps, so it might be changed back to just ctrl+f4 request or rejected.
