control tab not switching Safari tabs on iPad Air 3 iPadOS 13.7

control tab is moving the screen focus around from screen object to screen object instead of going to the next tab in Safari. Likewise, shift+control+tab does not switch to the previous tab in Safari.

iPad Air, iPadOS 13

SOLVED!! The popup cheat sheet you see when holding down the cmd key is wrong for switching Tabs in Safari.

After some Googling, I found a suggestion that works.


cmd+shift+right-arrow to next Tab


cmd+shift+left-arrow to previous Tab

Greetings Johne154,


Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! It seems you're unable to switch tabs in Safari on your iPad using a keyboard shortcut.


Switching between tabs in Safari on iPad doesn't show that it's supported while using keyboard shortcuts: Learn iPad keyboard shortcuts
