The shortcut keys for Windows (all browsers) and Mac (all except Safari) are:
- switch to next tab:  Ctrl+Tab
- switch to previous tab:  Ctrl+Shift+Tab

For Safari on Mac the keys are:
- switch to next tab:  Cmd+Shift+RightArrow
- switch to previous tab:  Cmd+Shift+LeftArrow

Maybe Safari also supports Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab - would need to try this out. If it does, then we can use the same shortcuts everywhere.

(Feel free to also implement the keyboard shortcut for "Close Current Tab", which is Ctrl+W on Windows and Cmd+W on Mac  :)

Confirmed that Safari also supports Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab so yes, we can use those shortcuts everywhere.
