Description

I would very like to have a feature to show relative number for tabs which is left/right to the current tab, so that I can direct hit + J/K to move to the target tab quickly and accurately.

The feature should behave the same as the vim plugin: relative number, instead of showing relative numbers for lines, it shows relative number for tabs.

Research direction

No implementation files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating Vimium’s tab display and J/K tab-navigation entry points, then compare the requested behavior with the linked numbers.vim reference. Done means relative tab numbers are shown and + J/K reaches the intended tab.
