How do I switch between Finder tabs with a keyboard shortcuts?

Ideally, I'd like to be able to cmd+1 == first tab, cmd+2 == 2nd tab, so on and so forth.

How can I do this?

Thanks!


Solution 1:

To move forward (Show Next Tab) through the tabs use the keyboard shortcut ControlTab, to move in the reverse direction (Show Previous Tab), use ControlShiftTab instead.

Solution 2:

On a Mac, you can add custom keyboard shortcuts in

System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts

  • Pick App Shortcuts from the pane on the left
  • Add a new shortcut with the [+] button
  • In the popup, choose Finder as the Application
  • In Menu Title, enter the exact name of the Menu Options
    • In this case "Show Next Tab" and "Show Previous Tab"
  • Then perform the shortcut you want in the Keyboard Shortcut box
