Description Vladimir Voskresensky 2012-08-31 16:13:33 UTC
Ctrl+PgUp/PgDwn works only to jump between tabs in editor area.
I can not find a way to jump between tabs in Find Usages TabContainers, the same issue with Output window inner tabs, Search tabs, ...
Comment 1 Stanislav Aubrecht 2012-09-11 10:07:58 UTC
Works for me in

Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20120910-e98acef88a82)

Comment 2 Vladimir Voskresensky 2012-09-12 15:29:25 UTC
I've checked on Ubuntu and it doesn't work.
Open Output Window
Do Find Usages 1 time
=> Ctrl/PgUP, PgDwn works
Do Find Usages 3 times
=> no way to jump between usages tabs

Comment 3 Stanislav Aubrecht 2012-09-12 15:38:59 UTC
Please run SwingSet demo app and check the Ctrl+PageUp/Down keys are working fine there.

Comment 4 Vladimir Voskresensky 2012-09-12 16:01:53 UTC
yes, it works fine on all top tabs and for internal tabs as well. 

What I see in NB: if in Find Usages I have only one result (=> no internal tab) => Output/Find Usages/Bookmarks/Action Items can be switched using Ctrl+PageUp/Down, but if Find Usages container has internal tabs => Ctrl+PageUp/Down stops on Find Usages container and neither top tabs, not internal Find Usages tabs can be switched
Comment 5 Vladimir Voskresensky 2012-09-12 16:03:44 UTC
Btw, if Output container has several internal tabs, then I can not switch between them as well.

Ctrl+PageUp/Down allows to jump only between "big" containers (like   Output/Find Usages/Bookmarks/Action Items)

Works for me in

Both in Metal and GTK l&f


Please check your keyboard shortcut mappings.
Comment 7 Stanislav Aubrecht 2012-09-14 10:15:48 UTC
One more question - can you reproduce this with a clean user dir? And without C++ support turned off?
Comment 8 lytles 2016-03-27 22:05:09 UTC
this is a longstanding annoyance, just came across the bug report. responding to #c7

yes, i can reproduce this with a clean user dir

* startup with empty userdir, don't import settings
* new project -> sample -> anagram
* open the 2 .java files and close the welcome page
* shift-esc to maximize the editor tab
* verify that ctrl-pgup works
* find usages on several variables etc, opening each in a new tab
* verify that ctrl-pgup doesn't work


> And without C++ support turned off?

you've used a double negative so not sure what you mean. but to be clear, i don't not have c++ support installed
Comment 9 kpalsson 2017-03-10 22:09:29 UTC
fwiw, I'm still seeing this in nb8.2 on fedora25, but _onyl_ with metal/nimbus themes.  with gtk+ look/feel, the ctrl-pageup/down shortcuts work.  (The fonts are all busted, so I was trying another look/feel) with nimbus/metal, ctrl-pageup/down fail (do nothing) but ctrl-shift-pageup/down correctly do "inner tabs" as expected.

I _presume_ this is a conflict with something in gnome, but I've checked the keyboard shortcuts there, and nothing's obviously conflicting.
