Is there a hotkey to switch between tabs in Gedit? Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+PageUp are not working. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.

Gedit has this functionality natively, no need for a plugin. Try the following:

  • Next tab CtrlAltPageDown
  • Previous tab CtrlAltPageUp
3
  • 7
    These shortcuts are inconsistent with virtually all other applications on Linux, the norm is to use Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown

    @nedim: I didn't write Gedit, and I agree completely with you.

  • @nedim, I agree. There might be a historical reason Ctrl+PageUp/Down has already a meaning in gedit (Home/End). hamwaves.com/gedit/en/#cursor-navigation
