Feature request: Browser key shortcut to change table/view #536
Description
When in the browser tab, CTRL-UpArrow or CTRL-DnArrow currently behave (AFAIK) like simple Up/DnArrow except for moving the marker.
I propose these keyboard shortcuts be used instead for selecting previous next table/view (in the order these appear in the drop-down list above but order is not really of much importance).
This makes it very fast (for those of us who prefer the keyboard over the mouse) to change table/view.
Thank you.

Sounds useful. 😄
Add keyboard shortcuts for switching the currently browsed table

I've just made a commit that adds two new shortcuts for this. For now I have decided to set them to
Ctrl + PageUpandCtrl + PageDownbecause in my opinion Ctrl+Arrow keys feels like it's about selecting table cells (even though it doesn't at the moment), not like changing the table altogether. But that's just my opinion. If a majority feels like it should be the arrow keys I can always change the shortcuts 😃Anyway, are you still interested in this, @tonypdmtr, and want to check out tomorrow's nightly build to see if it's working for you?

Seems OK.
