How to configure Sublime Text 2/3 to use direct Ctrl+Tab order and to create new tabs after the last one?

Question

When I press Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+Shift+Tab or Ctrl+W the tab I get switched to is not the one just near the one I was on (as I would like to) but to some else. When I press Ctl+N the new tab is created right near the tab I am at while I always want it to be created at the end of the tabs list. How to configure it to achieve the behaviour I desire?

Answer 1

To achieve the Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab behavior you can add the following lines to your sublime-keymap:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+tab"], "command": "next_view" }, { "keys": ["ctrl+shift+tab"], "command": "prev_view" } 

To open sublime-keymap:

1. click "Preferences"
2. click "Key Bindings"
3. You will see two settings file, select a file that named "User"

Answer 2

With the default key bindings, ControlPage Up and ControlPage Down will allow you to move right and left among your open tabs, respectively, in their visual order. (The keybinding solution replicates this functionality using your preferred keys.)

Because the package installer is now included with Sublime Text, it's also straightforward to add the MoveTab extension, which adds the shortcuts ShiftControlPage Up and ShiftControlPage Down to move the current tab within that visual order.

To access the package installer in Sublime Text 3 (in Windows, anyway), type ShiftControlp, then Package Control: Install Package.
