What happened?

I want the Ctrl + Tab shortcut to switch only between non-essential tabs. It should skip essential tabs unless those essential tabs are currently open.

Version

v1.12.6b

What platform are you seeing the problem on?

Windows - x64

What component is this issue related to?

Tabs

Relevant log output if applicable

I literally came here to open this issue. Given how far away the essential tabs are from normal tabs in the UI, it is unexpected that Ctrl-Tab sends you from the bottom of the vertical tab list and back up to your essential tabs.
