Create keyboard shortcuts to jump to Safari 4 tabs directly

I like the idea, but didn't want additional software, so I setup the scripts as services using Automator (my new fav toy for procrastinating in the name of creating productivity tools). Two problems. The scripts are slow, and I don't think you can add a keyboard shortcut for a service that already exists for another menu item in the application. I had to compromise with ALT + 1,2,3..10. For those two reasons I doubt I'll remember to use it, and I'll just stick with SHIFT+CMD+LEFT/RIGHT.

Good suggestion though, and thanks for the reminder to checkout Quix. In the name of increased productivity I am stopping all work for 30 mins to mess around with it.

FastScripts did not allow me to change anything in Safari.. The photo shots from the mentioned website were not available to me when i downloaded the program. Now I am trying to get this program off my computer but can't find out where it installed itself...

ughh...

Why add more software? Just use CTRL-TAB like Apple meant it to be.

I used QuicKeys for adding Command 1-5 for tab selection. Just use the select button by location for each. Works flawlessly. Even supplants Apple's command keys for bookmarks command 1-5. I never liked that feature anyway. : )

I know QK is not free but it's always been an indispensable utility & always worth the upgrade price.

I agree with Mark, as well using Cmd_Shift_Left/Right arrow avoids the conflict with Cmd-Tab being cofigured (in my case) to jump from one Space to another

Cmd-Shift-Left/Right arrow might not be "direct," but they'll easily get you there without reaching for the mouse.
