Is there a track pad gesture to switch browser tabs in full screen mode?
Hi there,
I am trying to find a trackpad gesture to switch tabs in Safari or Chrome.
Please advise?

Yes, there is a trackpad gesture to switch between tabs in the new Safari. Pinch-in, with 2 fingers, as if you wanted to zoom out. I figured it out on accident. Hope this helps! Solved my problem!

PS: The only thing I know is the COMMAND + NUMBER combinations, this would only work when the tabs are visible.
I haven't heard of one. You could make them all full screen individually.
I am not sure about the Trackpad, but I use "ctrl-tab" and "ctrl-shift-tab" keyboard shortcuts anyway.
Awesome, the Ctrl-Tab is the one I was looking for. Thanks!
Great to know about Ctrl-Tab but I'm surprised there is no gesture for switching tabs in Safari (as in Firefox). You would have thought OSX Lion would have implemented this as it's so obviously handy!
I agree, also the COMMAND + NUMBER tool doesn't work for Safari as this is reserved to setup the pre defined links option. Handy as well but not what you're looking for.
I will stick to Chrome for now.
Not that it's any different really, but COMMAND + SHIFT + LEFT ARROW and COMMAND + SHIFT + RIGHT ARROW also work for tab switching. It's an additional key press but, at least for me, it seems fit the natural position of my hands better.
nexTab added switch tabs gesture to Safari and other browsers. (Hold one finger on trackpad, tap another)
It works out of the box, you could launch and forget it.
Unfortunately, I don't find that pinching in works for me in the latest Safari and Mountain Lion.
I've gone back in and tested this after reading your message. I am using a wireless trackpad with Mountain Lion, and this is how I am using it. I have safari opened, and multiple table are up; pinching in with 2 fingers will zoom out and reveal all of your tabs that you can flick through with 2 fingers. It's a useful gesture and I have been using it for the past few days. If that does not work, just verify your gestures are all turned on in the Trackpad Preferences, and the Mouse Preferences under Universal Access (in preferences). Just a simple pinch-in and swipe through your tabs! I'm doing it right now!
Thank you for the extra info! I had "Zoom in or out" deactivated on my Trackpad Preferences, as I used to find I involuntarily zoomed in on webpages. This new gesture works now that I've reactivated the gesture and seems to be a shortcut for the "Show All Tabs" option under the Safari View Menu.
You could look at BetterTouchTool, which will let you create gestures for all kinds of activities, including keyboard shortcuts such as Control-Tab and Control-Shift-Tab.
Ctrl + tab is great - but, you can use better touch tool to configure a gesture to perfom ctrl + tab for you in Safari only (which is what you really want), and ctrl + alt + tab as well.
Personally, I've configure tip on the top right to be ctrl + tab, and tip swipe wih left finger down to be ctrl + alt + tab.
I just hate taking my hand off the track pad!
yes, there is a gesture for that u want... just pinch with 2 fingers.
