Inspired by the Tab Switcher widget, the Tab Jumper widget adds 4 additional methods of switching (jumping) tabs.
Improving form usability by directly jumping to a tab, without the need to scoll up to the top of the tab container.
Can be used in combination with the Key Stroke Widget to create keyboard shortcuts to show a specific tab.
Available actions:
- Jump to first tab
- Jump to previous tab
- Jump to next tab
- Jump to last tab
- Jump to tab with matching title
- Jump to the n-th tab
Multiple Tab Jumper widgets can be used to control the same tabcontainer.
It is currently not possible to control multiple tabcontainers with the a single Tab Jumper. It acts on the first tabcontainer it finds.
