feat(desktop): add ctrl+tab tab navigation

[ascrazy]

Description

Adds alternate tab navigation hotkeys in the desktop app:

Ctrl+Tab → next tab
Ctrl+Shift+Tab → previous tab

These are standard shortcuts used across most apps (terminal apps, browsers, IDEs), so adding them provides a familiar, universal way for users to move between tabs quickly and efficiently.

Poem

🐰 A rabbit hops through tabs with glee,
With ctrl+tab and shift, so free!
Alt shortcuts bound, the navigation's swift,
Wrapping 'round in perfect drift.
New keys to dance, old logic still,
All tabs bend to our fluffy will! 🎹
