Shortcut for cycling through open files (tabs)

Hi all,

I have spent more than an afternoon searching for a way to cycle through open tabs like you do in Chrome, using CTRL+TAB and CTRL+SHIFT+TAB, to no avail. I believe I haven't found anything mostly due to "tab" also meaning indentation and results being a lot of "Tab vs. Space?" questions...

On to my problem: when I press CTRL+SHIFT+TAB, I go back one tab (as intended), but when I press CTRL+TAB, it pops open a window showing all files I have opened (sort of Notepad++ way if you don't have it disabled - I do), so if you want to cycle one tab to the right you have to hold CTRL and press TAB twice. I want need to change this because pressing TAB twice every single time is going to drive me crazy.

tl;dr: how do I change the way cycling through tabs work?

Thanks  :D

If you have the keybinder-plugin installed (part of contrib-plugins), go to "Settings -> Editor -> Keyboard shortcuts" and remove the shortcut of "View -> Switch tabs" (should be "Ctrl+Tab").
