The ability to move between tabs using the keyboard would be a, I believe, a
good adition. For example, ALT <1> to jump to the first tab ... ALT <0> to jump
to the 10th tab. I, in particular don't use over 10 tabs so ALT < 1 ---> 0>
would be enough. After ten tabs, i'm clueless on how to implement the keyboard
navigation :).

Keyboard navigation already exists: Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDn

If you think of browser tabs the same way as the notebook tabs in the three ring
notebooks most of us used in grade school, you should realize that the tabs are
nothing but shortcuts to pages higher or lower in the stack of pages, leading to
the existing shortcuts PgUp & PgDn.

And additionally ctrl+tab and ctrl+shift+tab work too these days.
