Using Cntrl-Tab in Terminal on Mac OS X

I love OS X. Love it. Other than my company's software, OS X is the only other piece of software I've seen in this decade which really excited me. (iPhone, too, but that's just a reduced form of OS X) However even with an amazing platform like OS X, there are always a few minor annoyances that sometimes cannot be resolved, but sometimes can. This is a case where it can be resolved.

I'm very used to switching between tabs in Safari/Firefox using CNTRL-TAB, but this does not work in Terminal by default. I couldn't figure out how to set this correctly in the preferences and the online responses were lame, but fortunately someone at the Shire knew the answer. This is for everyone out there who is searching the intertubes for an answer to this question.

Just follow these steps:

1. Open System Preferences => Keyboard

2. Go to Keyboard Shortcuts

3. Click on "Application Shortcuts" on the left

4. Click the little "+" to add a program

5. Navigate to Terminal (it's hidden in Applications/Utilities)

6. For the Menu Title type "Select Next Tab"

7. For the Keyboard Shortcut type ctrl-tab

8. Click Add. You're g2g!
