DUI - Tabs and Keyboard shortcuts

Hello,

Let's assume I use the Layout Editing Mode to create a new DUI element (Container > Tabs).
Then I create several tabs (Tab1, Tab2, Tab3...).

I'd like to assign Keyboard shortcuts to switch from one tab to another. However, I haven't found how yet.

Is this currently possible, and if not, could it be possible one day ?

We can assign Keyboard shortcuts to almost everything, so I hope tabs can be a part of the list.

Thank you.

Not at home right now, but have you tried ctrl+tab? works in browsers, not sure if it works for foobs ( I do not work with tabs).

Maybe its not possible, how can your shortcut guess in which panel it has to switch a tab if you have more tabbed panels?

Thanks Mar2zz. You are right : CTRL+Tab WORKS within foobar !  That's a great starter.

Regarding your last question, I would expect all existing tab names to be available among the possible shortcuts (just like all existing script names are available), so if we choose to assign a shortcut to a given tab name, foobar would automatically switch to the right panel and the right tab.

Would that be consistent / feasible in a future version ?

Great idea/suggestion! Being able to assign shortcuts to put keyboard focus to a specific panel, e.g. the playlist, the Facets search field, ... would improve keyboard usage of foobar much. I hope it is technically possible, too.
