Hi,

It is Intellij idea.  Tab1 and Tab2 are my latest active 2 tabs. In windows desktop, we can use Alt+Tab to switch between two different application' UI. This is very useful.

Is there any short key to switch between two active tabs in Intellij idea?

You can check what shortcut is assigned to action under Preferences/Seetings | keymap. See the related screenshot:

Default shortcut to "Select Next Tab" action on macOS is Shift+Command+[

Hi Annikov, thanks.

Select Next tab will switch to next tab one by one, not between latest two active tabs.

Is there any toggle function? Thanks.

Invoke Switcher to see a list of recently opened files and switch between them easily. The file being edited right now is highlighted. Invoke switcher with hotkey Ctrl+Tab or Ctrl+Shift+Tab.

There is a trick to it, lets follow…

  1. Go to keymap setting.
  2. Search for switcher.
  3. Set Iterate Switcher Forward to use Ctrl + Tab.
  4. Set Iterate Switcher Backward to use Ctrl + Tab.
  5. Warning pop-up appears, Select keep option.

There you go, now you can switch between your current  tab and previous tab.

Note: Use “+” to add this shortcut as this shortcut switches menu focus in settings panel.
