I have a suggestion, could Alt + left/right arrow switch between tabs that are next to each other? This shortcut is e.g. in PyCharm and I think it would significantly improve my browsing experience. It seems to be currently unassigned.

Chosen solution

kovanda.physics, on Windows at least, alt+left and right are standard Windows global hotkeys for navigating backwards and forwards.

In Firefox these are used for navigating backwards and forwards between visited websites in the current tab.

There is already ctrl+pageup and pagedown for switching between adjacent tabs, if that helps?
