Accept tab-related keys even when tabs are not shown

Post by jonha4711 »

I am a keyboard, not a mouse, guy and I use tabs a lot within MP. It's easy to switch between tabs with Ctrl-Tab and Shift-Ctrl-Tab. However, in order to save some valuable screen real estate, I have tried to switch off tab display with View>Tab>Show. That works but then the shortcuts do not work anymore though MP still has the tabs.

Can you please support switching between tabs even if they are not shown?

Well, not sure whether my suggestion re those keyboard shortcuts will ever receive any TLC... so I've tried to find a workaround. The best I came up with so far is to enable multiple instances of the app and disable the Tab bar. This does more or less what I want though at the price of creating umpteen windows.

If anyone has a better idea... I'm all ears.
