I think it's more easy to type with only one hand the ALT+number shortcuts than CTRL+number shortcuts to change to other tabs.

Alt+key shortcuts are already used on many sites that are using the (x)HTML accesskey attribute in their tags.

Ok. Galeon uses ALT+number shortcuts. If Phoenix devs don't want change it please say me where I could change it on the sources.

Thanks for answer.

Phoenix devs won't probably change it: at the beginning, Phoenix used alt+number shortcuts to cycle through tabs, but it was then changed to ctrl+number shortcuts (for reason I gave above).

I haven't tried to change the shortcuts myself, but you may find some help on this page: http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#keys

Thanks. I have make this changes and runs ok :-)

I found it on:

browser.jar / content / browser / browser.js


Search for:

function ctrlNumberTabSelection(event)

Change:
if (!event.ctrlKey)
return;

with this:
if (!event.altKey)
return;

Thanks for all, now I'm more happy with my Phoenix
