Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, there is no easy way to control the tabs in Cutter from the keyboard

Describe the solution you'd like

I want to apply a set of keyboard shortcuts to manage tabs in Cutter:

  • Ctrl+Tab - Jump to the next open tab
  • Ctrl+Shift+Tab -J ump to the previous open tab
  • Ctrl+W - Close the current tab
  • Ctrl+T - Duplicate current tab
  • Ctrl+Shift+T - Reopen previously closed tabs in the order they were closed

Mouse shortcut - Mouse middle click on a tab will close it

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Cutter manages tabs (likely QTabWidget) and locate where keyboard shortcuts are registered. Look for existing shortcut handling in the codebase to follow the pattern.
