Is there any shortcut to switch between active tabs when two projects are open in Intellij idea?

Answered

I already know the shortcut command+shift+[ or command+shift+], but when I open two or more projects in same window this shortcut switch between the projects instead of the editor code window. 
I liked to be able to switch between my projects however, will be great to switch between the code either.

Hello Brunosouzapicinini. You could specify your own shortcut for switching between Editor tabs in the  Settings | Keymap  window, the  Main Menu | Window | Editor Tabs | Select Next Tab  action.

CTRL + Tab works fine on MacOS

Hello, Jacky Liu there is an issue, when im using shortcut command+shift+[ that triggers two actions: 1. switch active window tab, 2. switch editor tabs. So its not applicable to use, when two and more project windows are opened

I couldn't find the Macos shortcut to disable "Select Next Tab Window". And also it's stated here that “So it seems cmd+shift+[ and cmd+shift+] are bound to next tab, previous tab across the whole system.”
 

That's why; I turned back to using multiple intellij windows for multiple projects…

Hi Tufekcivolkan 

I tested and looks like a bug, I'll submit a new bug request in YouTrack for further research, meanwhile please perform the next steps as a work around:

  1. Go to Settings | Keymap
  2. Navigate to Main Menu | Window | Editor Tabs
  3. Right click over Select Next Tab and chose Remove  
  4. Right click over Select Previous Tab and chose Remove
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to remove all shortcutes from both options
  6. Right click over Select Next Tab, chose Add Keyboard Shortcut and press shift+cmd+]
  7. Right click over Select Previous Tab, chose Add Keyboard Shortcut and press shift+cmd+[

This will make work the shortcut.
