I’ll start: Opening new tabs all the way to the right or bottom, rather than next to the current tab. Its especially disorienting on vertical tabs, I lose track of which (I changed the setting but its still annoying on blank Firefox profiles).

    I didn’t know about ctrl+pgdn, but even if I did, it’s impossible to do it left handed without lifting right hand from mouse or left hand from usual placement.

    As far as OS goes, I barely ever use alt+tab. I almost completely switched to Meta+ number keys where I have pinned windows I use the most. Alternatively I do meta+tab to show KDE overview.

      You can also use Ctrl-1 to 8 if you don’t have a lot of tabs open, that does work with the left hand. Point is, there are tons of ways to switch to next/previous tabs, both with the keyboard and with the mouse, but the only way to switch to the last used tab is disabled by default. Even though it’s much more intuitive IMHO because it aligns with the way most OSes switch between applications. I frequently switch between a few tabs and a few apps, so I use both Ctrl-Tab and Alt-Tab a lot on multiple OSes. If this had been the default from the start I believe everyone would just be used to it and find it logical.
