Switch between tabs in gnome-terminal with keyboard?

Question

Once I've created a new tab in gnome-terminal with Ctrl+Shift+t, how can I switch back and forth between the tabs using the keyboard? For example, in Google Chrome the keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Tab (forward) and Ctrl+Shift+Tab (backward).

I'm using Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon.

Yea i'm using gnome-terminal ... I edited the question to reflect that. — dannyp32, Mar 14 '13 at 03:26
Google returns [THIS](http://superuser.com/questions/130560/how-do-i-alternate-tabs-in-linux-gnome-terminal) as the first result when doing a search with your exact title. — don_crissti, Mar 14 '13 at 03:30
Thanks. I previously searched for "Switch between tabs in terminal with keyboard" which gives a bunch of results relevent to mac os. I forgot to search again after you asked if I was using gnome terminal. — dannyp32, Mar 14 '13 at 03:53

If you happen to be on a laptop that has arrow keys, you may need to combine this with the `fn` key – lacostenycoder Mar 30 '22 at 16:34

Try using alt+tab number for Linux with gnome.
