Public bug reported:

While Ctrl-T and Ctrl-W work to open and close a tab, there is no key
combination to cycle through the tabs (in the active window). This is
inconvenient, as Thunar provides good keyboard-oriented interface
otherwise.

Consistency with other applications in terms of the chosen key combination 
would be desirable. Just for reference:
* All major web browsers use Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab to cycle through tabs 
in forward/reverse order -- this is a quite natural key combination from my 
point of view.
* Ctrl-Tab cycles through the various parts of the whole user interface 
(sidebar, location, tabs pane) -- this is somewhat confusing to me, though 
probably in line with other Xfce applications.  
* Xfce terminal emulator uses Ctrl-PgUp/PgDn to cycle through tabs in 
forwards/reverse order.

(Adding corresponding menu commands would be also probably
useful/needed.)
