Ctrl+Tab Hotkey Tab Switching Behavior

The current tab switching behavior of the Logos 8 hotkey Ctrl+Tab (and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to reverse) is to switch tabs in order of last use. This has always irritated me, and whenever a web browser or code editor has this set as default behavior, I make a point of changing it so that Ctrl+Tab switches tab focus to the next tab on the right, and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to the next tab on the left.

I realize that there is already another hotkey to switch tab focus left to right (Ctrl+PageUp and Down; link), but I would rather avoid trying to rewrite a lifetime of muscle memory. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Could you programmers possibly sneak in a setting to change the default Ctrl+Tab behavior? I'm not asking you to design a whole hotkey editor, just this one setting.

Thanks for all your work.

    Whoops, didn't realize there was a "Suggestions" forum – could someone move this over to there?

    I strongly agree with this!! I've been really excited to find the logos software, and even more excited to find it had keyboard shortcuts, but this bug is quite frustrating. Will be deeply grateful if anyone can fix it! :)

    I feel the same way about it. This would be a good QoL update.

    Logos 8 is no longer supported. Any changes must be made to the current software.

    This has been true for at least as long as the wiki has documented the keyboard shortcuts (5 years). Thus I suspect that the majority of users, like myself, have muscle memory for the current values.  I don't recall any change in this behavior since Logos 4.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
