Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Chrome, Firefox, VSCode and some other apps have a shortcut to switch one tab to the left or one tab to the right: ctrl+shift+[ to activate the next tab to the left, ctrl+shift+] to activate the next tab to the right. (cmd instad of ctrl on Mac)
Describe the solution you'd like
Implement the above shortcut.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I believe that ctrl+shift+PageUp / ctrl+shift+PageDown also works. I just find the bracket version more convenient, especially on keyboards without PageUp/PageDown.

Research direction
Start by locating Lapce's keyboard shortcut handling and the existing commands for moving between open tabs. Add the bracket shortcuts for the left and right tab commands, including the macOS modifier, then verify both directions and the existing PageUp/PageDown behavior in the editor.
