Description

Bruno is great but I really miss the possibility to switch between tabs with the keyboard. I suggest to implement it like Firefox does it:

  • Ctrl+PgUp: Switch to previous tab
  • Ctrl+PgDown: Switch to next tab
  • Ctrl+Tab: Switch to recently used tab i.e. pressed once opens the most recently used tab, pressed twice opens second least recently used tab.

Especially the Ctrl+Tab shortcut I find very useful for daily work.

Research direction
Look for existing keyboard event handling and tab navigation components in the codebase. Add listeners for Ctrl+PgUp, Ctrl+PgDown, and Ctrl+Tab to switch tabs accordingly.
