However, in v9, it only cycles between the last TWO recently used tabs. Clarify of my action: I press and hold Ctrl, and press Tab multiple times to cycle through tabs. I'm trying EmEditor v9.07.

Assume there are 3 tabs(A,B,C) opened, and A is current active tab. Please distinguish the two keyboard actions: ACTION 1. Press and hold Ctrl, then press TAB multiple times. This should ALWAYS cycle through all 3 opened tabs. --no matter if ”Switch to Last Used Document for Next Document Command” is checked. ACTION 2. Press Ctrl, press TAB, release TAB, release Ctrl, this switches active tab to B. Again, ress Ctrl, press TAB, release TAB, release Ctrl, will this switches back to A or switch to C ? This will be affected by ”Switch to Last Used Document for Next Document Command” option. EmEditor v6 to v8 did quite right to present different behavior for ACTION1 and ACTION2. But EmEditor 9 does not.

Is this behavior different between v8 and v9? How is it different? ---------------- Yutaka Emura Developer of EmEditor http://www.emeditor.com/

How is it different? My God. I can't imagine you EmEditor author cannot understand it while MariaK can -- perhaps you're not a native English speaker. I checked my post in this thread once again. My presentation was correct! Now, let me say that again. You prepare two PC, one to install Emeditor v8, one to install v9. Then on both PC do the following: 1. Enable option ”Switch to Last Used Document for Next Document Command” 2. Open three files(tabs), say, A, B C . 3. Do my keyboard ACTION 1 . Now you will see the difference: * On EmEditor v8, active tabs cycle through A -> B -> C -> A ->B ->C -> A ... * On EmEditor v9, active tabs cycle through A -> B -> A ->B -> A ... Apparently, v8 exhibits the reasonable bahavior, but v9 does NOT. ”Switch to Last Used Document for Next Document Command” is useful, that's OK. But it SHOULD ONLY be effective when you take keyboard ACTION 2.

Windows XP, Vista or 2000? ---------------- Yutaka Emura Developer of EmEditor http://www.emeditor.com/
