In other browsers, like chrome and Firefox, pressing Ctrl+Tab switches to the most recently used tab. In MS Edge, it switches to the tab to the right instead. Please make it possible to change this behavior to match other browsers. The current behavior is illogical, and counterproductive.

If you agree, send feedback to request the change to the Edge Development Team by pressing the Ctrl+Shift+I keys together, then clicking the Feedback Icon (Looks like a human with a speech bubble ) and filling in the form.

    Agreed, consistency between apps is important so users do not need to learn new shortcuts for each app.

    Yes, and Ctrl+PgDn acts like Ctrl+Tab. However, as you mentioned that doesn't act like other browsers.

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    I agree there should be consistency between browsers

    In Edge, the shortcut to switch to the last active tab is Ctrl + Page Up keys.
