            Bug ID: 501872
           Summary: Allow ctrl+tab switching to cycle over most recently
                    used tabs, like Kate
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 24.12.3
          Platform: openSUSE
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: john.kde at pelago.org.uk
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When you have a lot of tabs open, it would be helpful if a single ctrl+tab
keyboard action would change to the last used tab rather than (as currently)
the tab to the right. A popup like Kate uses for ctrl+tab would be perfect.
Ctrl+pageup and ctrl+pagedown would continue to be available to change tabs in
tab order.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin
2. Open many tabs
3. Click on tab 5
4. Click on tab 2
5. Press ctrl+tab

OBSERVED RESULT
Tab 3 is activated.

EXPECTED RESULT
Tab 5 is activated.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250320
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
Kernel Version: 6.13.6-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It would be nice if this could be standardised over all KDE apps, so maybe this
could be implemented at a framework level. Kate works as desired. Konsole sort
of does, although it doesn't show the popup selector that Kate shows (instead,
it immediately changes to the tab, but at least it does so in most recently
used order). Dolphin and Okular (when the latter has been configured to open
new files in tabs) always use tab order for ctrl-tab. I haven't checked other
tab-using KDE apps.
