Kurt;

3. Tabs on OSX like on Linux???


And ctrl+n should, in addition to creating a new tab/buffer, place the keyboard focus in this buffer. I'd call this a bug. 
Ctrl+tab should cycle through the buffers, also placing keyboard focus in the relevant field. Strictly speaking this would be a new feature but essentially it's a matter of conforming to standards; I think all modern programs using tabs do this.

These two operations require a mouse, which slows usage down, at least on Linux.

Yours,
Kas.
