Position your mouse over the arrows ("<"{for win,linux,mac}[[Image:tab la]]{/for} or ">"{for win,linux,mac}[[Image:tab right arrow]]{/for}) at the ends of the row of tabs,
{for win,linux,mac}[[Image:tab scroll1]]{/for}
and try Double-clicking (on either one) ONCE.
{for win,linux,mac}[[Image:tab scroll2b]]{/for}
Poof! It scrolled an entire screens width of tabs! Notice that the screen you're looking at has not changed, but the tabs above have.

Why didn't anyone ever tell me about this? It works great! Well you can tell other people to look here, or just tell them the "secret". Doesn't matter, just spread the word!

=Have you got a mousewheel?=

{for win,linux,mac}[[Image:mouse wheel tab]]{/for}
Then try using your mouse wheel.
