After the textmate updates 1.5.10, I experiencing that my old way that I used to switch between the tabs is not working any more!

The way is: cmd + shift + →  and cmd + shift + ←

And another thing about indentation. I use alt + tab to indent the group of lines, and its working, but alt + shift + tab is not working anymore!


I saw in the release notes that the tab-switching keys were changed.  Try cmd + shift + [ (or ] ).  The notes said something about this key being the current standard in tab-switching; that shortcut works in Safari and Firefox, I know, and other things like Araxis Merge.  I think the point is that more and more Mac software is adopting the bracket-key-shortcut as the standard for tab switching.

Keep in mind you can always go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Application Shortcuts and override the built-in shortcuts (found in Navigation > Next/Previous File Tab in the TextMate menu)

As for alt-shift-tab, I happened to notice that that didn't work just last night.  As a workaround, you can also use cmd-[ to decrease the indent (see under Text > Shift Left).  That one seems like a bug, as alt-tab still works, and alt-shift-tab doesn't just not work, but deletes your selection!
