When multiple documents are open in tabs in Okular, is there a keyboard shortcut for moving between tabs?
I’m running Okular on MacOS, but if there’s a Linux shortcut, I can figure out what the corresponding shortcut would be in MacOS, or try to set up a keymapping from another key combination to the Linux shortcut.
Thanks-
Okular honors the standard shortcuts, i.e. Ctrl+PageUp/Ctrl+PageDown. These work in all tab-based KDE apps. It also honors Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab.
Thanks—this may be useful information, since I might be able to map to those keys. I can’t use the information directly, because on a Macbook, it turns out that Ctrl-Tab doesn’t shift tabs, and with the standard replacement mapping for (nonexistent) PageUp and PageDown keys (Fn-uparrow, Fn-downarrow), Ctrl-Fn-uparrow, etc. doesn’t work either.
@ben2talk’s solution, Ctrl+] and Ctrl+[ , doesn’t exactly work, but Command+] and Command+[ work without any additional setup. That’s an easy solution that I found only because of @ben2talk’s post. Often, a Ctrl key combination becomes a Command key combination on a Mac. (I didn’t even realize at first that I had read Ctrl as Command in the post, even though I use Ctrl, not Command, all the time.)
In Linux you can also just edit the shortcuts in Okular (Settings >> Configure Keyboard Shortcuts) so that Okular directly recognises the shortcut of your choice, rather than needing to have an extra layer of mapping so that you press key <whatever> and Okular thinks it’s receiving Ctrl [.
Not sure if they are also editable on the Mac?
Thanks @pg-tips! I had not noticed that. There is indeed a Settings menu up on the Mac top bar, and Configure Keyboard is indeed there. I’ll investigate that. (I didn’t notice it because there’s a separate Mac-standard Preferences dialogue, which is where I had looked previously, and because on my other computer, there’s some kind of problem where menu titles don’t always show up.)
I can also configure keyboard shortcuts for specific apps in a global Mac settings interface, but apparently, only as shortcuts for menu items. I don’t see a “next tab” menu item. It wouldn’t be very useful as a menu item, so that’s understandable.
OK, this is weird. On the other computer, there is no Settings menu, even though I’m sure that both computers are running the same version of Okular, and even though I’ve removed and then redownloaded the same version. Well, I’ll work on it and come back here if I have a question that someone might be able to answer.
