Well  I found a workaround! using a macro app xmacros, I made a simple
macro that changes the tab(shift+left arrow) and then sends ctrl+g
followed by a tab, which does the  job just right.
I can't share with you the macro right now(screwed internt
connection), but I'll try to do that as soon as possible..
