This has got to be possible - I just don't see it: how do you change from one tab to another in Opera with the keyboard?

How are you doing it in other browsers?– random ♦Mar 12, 2010 at 1:40

Ctrl-Tab works in Firefox on the Mac, but not Opera. Oddly enough, as I found from looking around after John T's answer, on the Mac it's Option-Tab.– warrenMar 12, 2010 at 15:12

If you are looking for keyboard shortcuts, then Ctrl + Tab will move to the next tab, and Ctrl + Shift + Tab will move to the previous tab.
Under Preferences -> Advanced -> Shortcuts you can also enable single key shortcuts. You can then use 1 and 2 on your keyboard to cycle forward and backward through tabs.

1Do this, it's really amazingly convenient. I have 1 & 2 mapped to buttons on the side of my mouse, I use it so much. Mar 12, 2010 at 1:49

@Fake Name - I totally agree, I map the mouse left and right tilt-wheel buttons to switch to the left or right tab.– sblairMar 14, 2010 at 3:11

that's really handy! All the answers given are valid, but this one is cool :)– warrenMar 18, 2010 at 19:54

Be aware this only works on the older non-Chrome version of Opera. As far as I know the newer Opera doesn't support Ctrl+<1-9> for tab selection, nor custom keyboard shortcuts.– o01Sep 27, 2014 at 13:16
You can also use mouse gestures: Cycle through open tabs -> Hold right button, roll mouse wheel

And on the Mac it's option-tab.
(thanks John T for the pointer on where to look)
Another simpler way is to use the key "2" to go to the next tab and the key "1" to go to the previous tab.
Works on Opera 9.63 (Build 2474 for Linux)
ps: Though I wonder why it is the other way round on the official documentation page (perhaps the version number is different but still...)
You can use CTRL+Page Up for prev tab and CTRL+Page Down for nex tab.
