How can I make Safari cmd+number shortcut switch tabs instead of opening the bookmark associated with that number?

I'm used to switching tabs with cmd+x where x is a number and takes me to tab x in firefox and pretty much every other browser I've ever used. I like safari's speed and would like to try it a bit, but the cmd+x shortcut is burned in my brain and every time I use safari I end up screwing up. I'd like to know if its possible to change this behavior, because this simple thing is a stopper for me.

Solution 1:

Check SafariTabSwitching.

Solution 2:

cmd+[0-9] for switching tabs (instead of cycling through your preset top sites) take a look at:

github.com/rs/SafariTabSwitching

Safari Tab Switching is a Safari SIMBL plugin which allow switching between tabs using Cmd+1-9.

Safari Version 9.0.2 (El Capitan) has native support for this:

Solution 3:

Easy!

Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab

Solution 4:

In El Capitan, OSX 10.11, this has been included as a new feature of Safari Version 9.0 (11601.1.50).

Go to Preferences > Tabs > Use ⌘-1 through ⌘-9 to switch tabs
