    – Opera – Ancient Windows notes
    Before I started properly recording the dates and version numbers of my notes, I dreamed of hotkeys to switch “windows” (web browsers now use “tabs”). I wanted control-1 for window 1, control-2 for window 2, etc. I wonder how original this idea of mine is, since either/both of control-# and alt-# are implemented in everything tabbed. If you don’t think my idea is an early originator.. this was back in my Windows 3.1 days.
