Why is it impossible to set ctrl + tab as a keyboard shortcut on mac os x and Textmate?

I switched to Textmate and want to switch tabs using Command + Tab (like in NetBeans).

Menu command - Navigation - "Next file" tab. But is it impossible to set any shortcut using the Tab key? Is this a general limitation?

Tab key is sacred in textmate :-)

This is a trigger for the fragment mechanism, so ... Cmd + Opt + arrow keys will switch through the tabs. In addition, Cmd + ( 1 to 9 ) will go to the tab.

Use Spark to set up a special Textmate text / keyboard key that sends Cmd + Opt + Arrow

You probably won’t be able to bind Command + Tab to anything, as it is used by the operating system, but you should be able to bind Control + Tab - as Safari does. This may be a limitation of TextMate.

Ctrl-Tab (and Ctrl-Shift-Tab) can be used to switch tabs in TextMate (I am currently running TextMate v2.0-beta.6 on OS X Yosemite).

For settings

  • Go to OS X System Preferences, then Keyboard, then Shortcuts, and then Application Shortcuts.
  • Click the "+" button to add a new one. Select TextMate as the application, then enter “Select Next Tab” using ctrl-tab as the keyboard shortcut.
  • Repeat this with "Select previous tab" and shift-ctrl-tab to get the shortcut for the previous tab.
