According to the Google keyboard shortcuts documentation, Alt+Left arrow
navigates back, and Alt+Right arrow
navigates forward. However, it only behaves that way if the Alt
key and Left arrow
key are pressed simultaneously. If Alt
is held down and then the Left arrow
is pressed, it instead switches tabs to the previous tab. (And the same but to the next tab for the Right arrow
key of course.)
Ctrl+Tab
and Ctrl+Shift+Tab
already do tab switching, so I feel this is an unnecessary duplication that makes using the default more difficult, and a confusing key/command mapping since it means different things with just timing.
Is there a way to configure Chrome to always run the navigation commands even when the Alt
key is held down before the arrow key is pressed?
Answer
@Sathya was correct. I tracked it down to the Smooth Gestures extension.
- If it is disabled the original functionality returns
- Or, there is a Previous/Next Tab shortcut that defaults to Alt+Left/Right arrow that can be disabled or changed in the options menu for the extension
