MacOS – Keyboard shortcut to change tabs in terminal not working anymore in yosemite

macosshortcutterminal

I've set up a custom shortcut for Terminal to change tabs: cmd+option+left/right (the same as in most browsers, for convenience).

I did this by going to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts and adding it to Terminal as shortcuts for "Select Next Tab" and "Select Previous Tab". It worked perfectly.

Two days ago, I've upgraded to OS X Yosemite and now it's not working anymore. When I browse to the same location in System Preferences, it's configured. But it doesn't work.

How do I fix this, and more importantly, why is this happening?

The menu option Select Previous Tab is changed to Show Previous Tab and there is by default key shortcut for it

⌘ + ⇧ + } Show Next Tab

⌘ + ⇧ + { Show Previous Tab

1 and 2 keys to change tabs in Safari (like in Opera)

The keyboard shortcuts to switch between tabs in Safari are cmd-shift-{ (previous tab) and cmd-shift-} (next tab).

You can also use cmd-1, cmd-2, etc. to jump to the tab that corresponds with that number, up to 8 (e.g. cmd-5 will jump to the fifth tab from the left, from whichever tab you're currently on). cmd-9 will jump to the right-most tab.

MacOS – Mission control and Cmd + Tab not working since Yosemite 10.10.3

Try resetting all the defaults for Mission Control. I had the same problem and now it works.

Type the following command into Terminal:

defaults delete com.apple.dock mcx-expose-disabled && killall Dock
