**Description of the issue:**  
I need to swap between Tabs in the sence of Windows function combination “Alt+Tab”. In Brave i tried to use “Ctrl+Tab” combination, which is in Firefox (and in another browsers) common to go from the actual Tab to the previous one. But in Brave it works as a circle… Is there any combination for what i am looking for?

**Expected result:**  
Letting me know how to swap between Tabs in the sence of ‘actual tab -\> previously open tab’ (not ‘actual tab-\>next tab’).

**Brave Version( check `About Brave`):**  
1.7.92 Chromium: 80.0.3987.163 (Official Build) (32-bit)

**Additional Information:**  
Windows 7 Professional 32-bit

Hi @brav3n,  
**ctrl + tab** , will move you the the next tab (to the right)  
**ctrl + shift + tab** , will move you back (to the left)  
**Alt + Left arrow** , will open the previous page from your browsing history in the current tab  
**Alt + Right arrow** , will open the next page from your browsing history in the current tab

First of all, i clicked on “Left and Right arrow” key combinations (i.e. “Alt + →” & “Alt + ←” but nothing happens…

Anyway, about the ALT+TAB function. One example: let’s imagine that i have 20 tabs open and i wanna switch back and forward in between the 5th one and 15th one. With Brave’s actual solution CTRL+TAB/CTRL+SHIFT+TAB it will take ages, sooo many clicks on and on…

That’s why i calling for **classic “ALT+SHIFT” function.**

The solution? **The classic “ALT+TAB” function** (i.e. how it works on Firefox; or how it works on Windows with “ALT+TAB”) is much much better solution, there is no doubt!

I would really welcome to switch the tabs this way! It is about the productivity. The way how it works in Brave now it is really really annoying and unlucky.

I am just an user and telling you here what i really miss in Brave. So consider please this change/update via new Settings option for this, please! This will be cool, It will help a lot.  
Thanks!
