  Is there a way to enable the sheet tab to autoscroll to active sheet when using ctrl+pgup/dn to move between sheets? right now if there are more sheets than the space permits, you don’t see the active sheet if you move with shortcuts

  Hi,

  You can use the internal API scrollTabToActive to make the sheet tab automatically move to the active sheet while switching between sheets.

  I’ve attached a sample where pressing Ctrl + Up navigates to the next sheet and also scrolls the tab strip accordingly for reference: https://jscodemine.mescius.io/share/EKSYE-Tiqku8TZLZ5f8-7g/?IsEmbed=false&Theme=Unset&PreviewDirection=0&IsEditorShow=true&IsExplorerShow=true&IsPreviewShow=true&IsConsoleShow=true&IsRunBTNShow=false&IsResetBTNShow=false&IsOpenInCodemineBTNShow=false&PanelWidth=20&PanelWidth=50&PanelWidth=30&defaultOpen={"OpenedFileName"%3A["%2Findex.html"%2C"%2Fapp.js"]%2C"ActiveFile"%3A"%2Fapp.js"}

  You can apply the same approach using scrollTabToActive in your custom shortcut.

  Does this work for pgdown actions too (scroll to previous sheet?)

  Hi,

  It’s not reliably possible to override the Ctrl + Page Up or Ctrl + Page Down browser shortcuts using client-side JavaScript. These shortcuts are reserved for switching browser tabs and are handled by the browser itself before JavaScript on the page can intercept them. Therefore, it’s recommended to use a different key combination instead.
