Ignore 'Home' and 'Community' from keyboard shortcut tab numbering

I regularly switch between files and, like in many other programmes, I can use ‘command + number’ to quickly jump to the tab I want.

In Figma it feels really unintuitive to have to add 2 to the number because of the Home and Community tabs, i.e. if I have to press ‘command + 3’ to go to the first design file I have open; ‘command + 4’ to navigate to the second file I have open etc.

I don’t really see Home and Community as tabs in their own right. They’re certainly a lot less visited as part of my workflow. Even the UI gives them a lot less prominence visually than individual design/FigJam files.

I’d love to see ‘Home’ and ‘Community’ omitted from the tab numbering so I don’t have to do a bit of mental maths every time I want to switch between files.

Home should NOT be a tab. I use ctrl-tab and I always have to use an extra tap to skip the home tab. Switching between 2 tabs should be quick and easy, instead I have to make extra taps. It’s just not wired to my brain because in no other software uses Home as a tab. It’s in my and it’s counterintuitive. Tabs are for projects.
