The more keyboard shortcuts - the better. The amazing fact is that both Firefox and IE have very similar keyboard shortcuts for handling tabs:
| Ctrl+T | Create a new tab |
| Ctrl+W | Close current tab |
| Ctrl+PgDn, Ctrl+PgUp Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+Shift+Tab |
Go to next/previous tab |
| Ctrl+[0-9] (In Linux: Alt+[0-9]) |
Go to tab #[0-9] |
Got something else?
