ctrl+tab tab behavior

[AllergicMushroom]

Hello, I'd like ctrl+tab to go to the previously activated tab instead of the next one in order. Is this a mappable action ? I didn't find it in the docs.

Ideally I'd like to have ctrl+tab list tabs by activity order (like firefox for example), but it's just a small bonus compared to the first demand.

Yes, goto_tab does it with zero or a negative number: zero and negative numbers go to previously active tabs (goto_tab). The number is shifted by one, so the previous tab is 0, not -1:

map ctrl+tab goto_tab 0

Pressing it again takes you back, so it toggles between your two most recent tabs like Alt+Tab. goto_tab -1 goes to the tab before that, goto_tab -2 the one before, and so on. kitty keeps that history per OS window (active_tab_history in kitty/tabs.py).

For the Firefox-style list: select_tab (map ctrl+shift+tab select_tab) opens an overlay to pick a tab by name, but it lists them in tab-bar order, not by recent activity, and there's no hold-Ctrl-and-cycle mode.

Thank you ! I tried both. I now realize that the hold ctrl style would be really nice to have.
