Description

Current default behaviour of J and K keys is to scroll one tab left/right including tabs in tab groups.

It would be nice to align this beviour with default C-tab/C-shift-tab Chrome keys, which skip tabs in tab groups if groups are collapsed.
Or maybe provide a handler for this.

Research direction

Start by locating the handlers for the J and K keys and the code that determines whether tabs in collapsed groups are included. Compare the current behavior with Chrome's C-tab and C-shift-tab behavior, then clarify whether the goal is changed defaults or a separate handler; done means the selected behavior is implemented and verified for collapsed tab groups.
