Enable desktop app tab switching using [ctrl]+[tab]

The desktop app shortcuts seem to work really well in line with browser functionality.

  • ctrl + tab or middle mouse for new tab
  • shift + tab for new window
  • even ctrl + shift + t to restore the last closed tab

One of the few shortcuts that works for all mainstream browsers that is not available in Asana is to use ctrl+tab to switch between different tabs in the same window, and ctrl+ shift +tab to do the same in the opposite the direction.

Would love to see this added.

For Mac, it is: Option-Command-right/left arrove

Thank you!

I tested it and [ctrl]+[alt] [left/right] works on Windows!

I’ve used AutoHotkey to remap these keys so I can use the same shortcuts as in the browser:

#SingleInstance Force 			; Running this script replaces previous version
#IfWinActive ahk_exe Asana.exe	; Script only active when Asana desktop app has focus

^Tab::Send, !^{Right}
^+Tab::Send, !^{Left}

This keyboard shortcut works… BUT I’d prefer that the shortcut be the same as normal Windows browsers. My fingers are already trained for CTRL-TAB and CTRL-SHIFT-TAB… Why reinvent the wheel and create a different shortcut combination for Asana?

I agree with you @Michael_Smith16. It’s good that we can, but it would be better if it were consistent with what the rest of the world uses.

Added the ctrl+ shift +tab shortcut to the original request.

The script I suggested should enable you to use these shortcuts, so that’s why I’ve marked it as a solution.
