Anyone who ever attended one of my courses or is an astute reader of my tips knows I absolutely love keyboard shortcuts. Last week I realised that - although I’ve discussed the power of CTRL + TAB to move between browser tabs, windows and workbooks - I’ve never written a tip about its use to flip through the tabs of a dialogue box.
Here’s how:
- Press CTRL + TAB to move to the next open tab.
- Press SHIFT + CTRL + TAB to cycle the other way.
That said, if you keep pressing CTRL + TAB it keeps going. No need for the “monkey grip” to cycle backward.
