Hey all, I use ctrl+tab to swap between three characters in the mud I play.

Is there a way within Mushclient that I can assign ctrl+tab to just tab?

If there isn't a way to do this within Mushclient, does anyone know of a way to do this within Windows that will work on Mushclient?

Thank you!

I don't know about remapping keys. That sounds like an OS thing. But you can make the tab key do whatever you want, including activate different worlds. I don't know if there's an accessible function to cycle to the next world, but you can activate worlds by their place in the active worlds list.

You can make an "accelerator" on the tab key to do anything that you can do from another key.

You could get the list of IDs of active worlds using GetWorldIdList().

You could get the current world ID using GetWorldID().
https://www.mushclient.com/scripts/function.php?name=GetWorldID

You could find the index of the ID in the world list that matches the current world ID and then activate the next one in the sequence using GetWorldById

and Activate
