Is there a key combination to switch between tabs?

I know Alt+Tab switches between windows.  Is there one for tabs?

Forget it.  Sorry.  Should have done the search first.  Got my answer.

I would be happy to share it.  This will be the first time in my life that I will be able to answer a question on a computer forum! The answer is to switch between tabs is to do Ctrl+Tab.

I just learned that Ctrl/Shift/Tab reverses the sequence of going through tabs.  Three keys a bit more challenging to my manual dexterity.

Stop typing with just two fingers!

I have no problem typing, but typing doesn't require holding 3 keys at once.  However, I just realized I don't need to do that all with the left hand.  I can hold Ctrl + Shift with the right hand and hit the Tab key with the left hand.

Glad you  figured it out by yourself!
