Ctrl-Tab cycles through some (not all) open tabs in the window

[cornejom]

It appears that pressing Ctrl-Tab repeatedly does not cycle focus through all the tabs but only between the two tabs that were last to be clicked on.

After opening a file in new window, I opened several more files via File - Open Tab menu command. Whatever tab I'm on, I can only cycle back and forth with the immediate previously-clicked tab.

• OS: MacOS 10.15.7

I think that is the expected behavior? You can cycle through tabs with gt or gT.

Hadn't realized that. Thanks.
