Ctrl + Tab - file switching not working correctly

[AcsPrime]

Hey guys,

I am trying to pick up codeblocks again after a long time of using other IDEs.
One thing that seems strange is the the ctrl+tab key combination to switch between files. On other IDEs (like netbeans) or just plain text editors (like notepad++) when I press ctrl+tab quickly I switch to the previous file and if I press long enough I am presented with a little window with all open files. This does not seem to happen in codeblocks.

The current behavior seems to be:
- I press ctrl+tab
- I see the little window appear briefly
- I remain on the same file

If I do press ctrl+tab and continue pressing ctrl I can see the little window but if I then press tab I do not switch to the previous file but to the following file (depends on the tab order)

Is this how things are suppose to work in the codeblocks world? This really seems like a bug to me.

Thanks!

What operating system and codeblocks version are you using?

I have updated my post with the details.

on linux mint 18 wx3.x.x i don't get any dialog... I remember it on windows, and there may be a setting somewhere to modify the behaviour, but i can't find it any more. Is there someone who knows more?

On linux it is with the ctrl-, shortcut and not with the ctrl-tab.

It's good that codeblocks offers more features than other IDEs but I was hoping that some behaviors would be universal.
The ctrl+tab works as intended on Notepad++, Netbeans, Visual Studio Code and I believe Eclipse too.

It really simplifies the navigation especially in C++ where I (and I am sure most developers) switch between the .h and .cpp files a lot.

for this you can use F11 key

i am with you. Can you post a ticket on SF so it won't get lost?

This works. Thank you
