Oct 9, 2015 8:00 AM in response to Mistersnekkenesby alex_h1,Hello Mistersnekkenes,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that the keyboard shortcuts for changing tabs in Safari is not working. To start off with, the shortcuts have not changed in Safari with El Capitan, they remain the same as before:
Bring the next tab to the front
Control-Tab or Shift-Command-]
Bring the previous tab to the front
Control-Shift-Tab or Shift-Command -[

Given that your shortcuts have been changed at one point, I'd like you to check the App Shortcuts in the Keyboard System Preferences. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard, then click Shortcuts. Then select App Shortcuts. Here is the location I would like you to check for any custom Safari shortcuts that have been made. It is possible the shortcut command to change tabs has been modified at one point.

Take care.

Oct 10, 2015 1:23 AM in response to alex_h1by Mistersnekkenes,Thank you for the quick reply!
I have checked and restored all shortcuts under Keyboard System Preferences one more time, with no luck. There is no special shortcuts made for tabing.
I did try to add special shortcuts for tabing and it worked to some extent. When i tab now, safari will first open the addresser and when i tab again, it tabs.
In other words, i have to tab 2 times to make safari tab 1. Not the most optimal solution.
Just to make it weirder, i changed the system language to English (from Norwegian), and in the English version everything works perfect!
So it seems to me that there is something wrong with the Norwegian version of my Safari. Going to double check on my other mac after i upgrade to El Capitan, but it looks like i have to change to English if i want to keep using Safari.
Thanks again for the reply,
Alex S

Or you can use your Apple ID to register with this site and go the Apple BugReporter. Supposedly you will get an answer if you submit feedback.

Sep 21, 2016 12:19 PM in response to alex_h1by Dr.MORO,Remember, to change default & existing keyboard shortcuts, 'Add' ( + ) a new shortcut to the Application (here would be Safari, yet I also did this with Finder Tab changing as well), and name the shortcut EXACTLY as in what the menu bar says/shows. Changing the name to something else will NOT override the default shortcut. Once typing in the same shortcut name, and setting up any (well, any undefined/unused shortcut, that is...), close your System Pref app and the app you changed the shortcut (here Safari), reopen app, and you should be able to use the newly assigned shortcut. BTW, I have set my tab-changing shortcuts for Safari & Finder, to Control+comma(,) & Control+period(.), and it works great. Good Luck!
PS: Obviously, you CAN make a simple new shortcut universal as it works in ALL apps, but I did not do so, and dealt with only the apps I wanted to change (Safari & Finder).
