Description:
If you have multiple tabs open within the application, one would hit CTRL+TAB to get to the next tab, and CTRL+SHIFT+TAB to move to the previous tab.  At the present time, when you reach the first or last tab, the respective previous and next tab keyboard shortcuts do nothing.

How to repeat:
Nothing to repeat as this is a feature request.

Suggested fix:
My feature request is that if you are at the last tab and you hit the keyboard shortcut for next tab (CTRL+TAB), the application should simply move to the first tab.  And if you at the first tab and hit the previous tab shortcut (CTRL+SHIFT+TAB) it would take you to the last tab.

This would make it much easier to navigate through the open tabs within the application.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.0.4 release, and here's the changelog entry:

The tab navigation feature now includes wrapping. Pressing "Control" +
"Tab" (forward) with the last tab active will move to the first tab, and
pressing "Control" + "Shift" + "Tab" (backward) with the first tab active
will move to the last tab.

Thank you for the bug report.
