Description:
Currently there does not seem to be a hotkey sequence for cycling through SQL Query tabs. 
Under "View > Next/Previous Tab", you can only cycle between Active Connection / Model tabs (Control + Tab).
However, when working with a single database connection with multiple SQL Query tabs open, the only way to change from one editor tab to another is to use the mouse.

How to repeat:
1. Open MySQL Workbench
2. Connect to a database (under SQL Development)
3. Open two or more SQL Query tabs (Command + T)
4. Try to cycle through each tab using the keyboard, but watch as you only cycle between the Home / Workbench Central tab and your Active Connection Tab. 

It seems the only way to change editor tabs is using a mouse :(

Suggested fix:
Change the default behavior of Next/Previous tab command (Control + Tab) to cycle between SQL Query tabs, or at least provide a modifier (Alt/Option?) to allow cycling between the inner editor tabs of the currently active connection tab.

Confirmed this has finally been fixed as of 6.0.4 BETA 3! This is a giant step forward in usability for OS X, thank you Oracle :)
