Make Cmd+1..9 to switch tabs in Safari?

Question

Is there a way to make Cmd+1 switch to the first tab, Cmd+2 to switch to the second and so on..?

I'd much rather not use SIMBL..

Answer 1

One (still relatively hacky) option would be to assign shortcuts to AppleScripts like this:

tell app "Safari" to tell window 1 to set current tab to tab 1

---

tell app "Safari" to tell window 1 to set current tab to last tab

You could use Automator services or third party apps like FastScripts or Keyboard Maestro to assign the shortcuts.

Answer 2

Check this new plugin (OSX Lion only):

Safari Tab Switching is a Safari SIMBL plugin which allow switching between tabs using Cmd+1-9.

Answer 3

Technically, there is no real non-hacky solution, but you can always use cmd + shift + (left or right arrow key) to switch the tab on the left or the tab on the right. I've always found that useful.
