## Usage
This plugin adds the following keyboard shortcuts:
| Action | Shortcut |
| :------------------------------------ | :-------------------------------------------------------- |
| Switch to next most recently used tab | Ctrl + Tab |
| Switch to tab on the left | Ctrl + Page Up |
| Switch to tab on the right | Ctrl + Page Down |
| Move current tab left | Ctrl + Shift + Page Up |
| Move current tab right | Ctrl + Shift + Page Down |
Hold down Ctrl to continue tab switching. Press
Esc while holding Ctrl to cancel and return to the
initial tab.
## Preferences
* `Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab switch to tabs on the left and right`
Change Ctrl + Tab and Ctrl +
Shift + Tab to switch to tabs on the left and
right instead of in most recently used order.
## Contributing
The code in `controlyourtabs/utils` comes from [python-gtk-utils];
changes should ideally be contributed to that project, then pulled back
into this one with `git subtree pull`.
