If you have up to nine tabs open, you can use Command+1 through 9 to select the desired tab.

Use Shift+Control+Tab or Shift+Command+[ to bring the previous tab to the front.

Use Control+Tab or Command+] to bring the next tab to the front.

Lastly, if you have more than one tab open, then you can use the keyboard to navigate through them. In the previous examples, if you use those keyboard shortcuts to open tabs, they’ll open in the background. To open a page in a new tab and bring it to the front for the same items (link, bookmark, Smart Search), prepend those shortcuts by adding the Shift key. You can eliminate a step by holding the Command key and clicking a link, bookmark, or hiting the Return key from the Smart Search field.

To open an item in a new tab, you could right-click and select “Open in a new tab” from the resulting context menu.To open all the tabs in a folder in your Favorites, hold the Command key and click the folder.To close all open tabs except one, hold the Option button and click the close button (X) on the tab you want to leave open or use Command+Option+W.

There are a couple of ways to affect multiple tabs as well.To close the current tab use Command+W.To move from tab to tab (assuming you have several open) use Command+Shift+Left/Right Arrow.Just open everything you want to read (eventually) and go at it. Opening pages in new tabs is a great way to make sure you don’t miss anything.

You can swap the behavior of those last two shortcuts by clicking “Press Tab to highlight each item on a webpage” in the Advanced tab of the Safari preferences.
