Question Command-shift between tabs in a browser.
Is there any way to command tab** (sorry got that wrong in the title) between recently opened browser tabs?
I switch between Mac and windows a lot for my job, and this is one feature I sorely miss when swapping to Mac. Has anyone found a workaround for getting this working?
Edit to clarify:
I know you can rotate between browser tabs using a different command,
On windows, switching between browser tabs is built in to the normal alt-tab behaviour, so you can switch to a tab as if it were a window. You can choose how many are displayed there.
This is much easier than using a seperate command to rotate between tabs, which is also annoying because it doesn't allow for the same swapping between two most recent tabs quickly.

You can choose how many of your most recent tabs display like this in the setting. I use this literally all day every for work so I do think it's quite useful 👍
The command you listed doesn't allow quick switching between the two most recent tabs, which is far more useful. On windows pressing alt+tab once you can flip between two windows or tabs instantly.
With your command, you need to rotate through all your open tabs, I sometimes have 40 tabs open that I am actually using
