Description

While there are hotkeys to select a specific tab, I'd like it if I could switch between tabs via hotkey, by order of "most recently used".
CTRL+TAB is often used for this on Windows applications (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_keyboard_shortcuts#Tab_management).

Research direction

Start at the main window's existing tab-selection and hotkey handling, using the current shortcuts for selecting specific tabs as the reference point. Verify that CTRL+TAB on Windows cycles tabs in most-recently-used order and that the behavior works as intended in the main window.
