Please try to type 'C-u 2 <MODIFIER>-9'. It selects the tab before the last tab. Maybe 'C-u -2 <MODIFIER>-9' should do the same?

Hmm, ok. I got confused by the 'tab-bar-select-tab-modifiers' docstring, which says List of modifier keys for selecting tab-bar tabs by their numbers. Possible modifier keys are `control', `meta', `shift', `hyper', `super' and `alt'. Pressing one of the modifiers in the list and a digit selects the tab whose number equals the digit. Negative numbers count from the end of the tab bar. The digit 9 selects the last (rightmost) tab. For easier selection of tabs by their numbers, consider customizing `tab-bar-tab-hints', which will show tab numbers alongside the tab name. Perhaps the option of doing C-u <digit> <MODIFIER>-9 should be mentioned there as well? Robert -- ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

This is because <MODIFIER>-9 differs from other digits. For example, '<MODIFIER>-2' selects the second tab, but 'C-1 <MODIFIER>-2' selects the first tab. This means that the prefix argument takes precedence over the modifier digit, so you can select a tab that has no digit key, e.g. 'C-u 42 <MODIFIER>-2' will select the 42nd tab, and 'C-u -42 <MODIFIER>-2' will select the 42nd tab from the end. But 'tab-last' is an exception from this rule, and its prefix argument means to count the relative position from the last tab. 'tab-bar-select-tab' and 'tab-last' should describe their prefix arguments, so 'tab-bar-select-tab-modifiers' could just link to their docstrings: diff --git a/lisp/tab-bar.el b/lisp/tab-bar.el index 5fc5124d47..9173a7b38d 100644 --- a/lisp/tab-bar.el +++ b/lisp/tab-bar.el @@ -91,9 +91,9 @@ tab-bar-tab-ungrouped (defcustom tab-bar-select-tab-modifiers '() "List of modifier keys for selecting tab-bar tabs by their numbers.
