With many tabs open we get two arrows on top of the screen to scroll left and right through tabs by clicking with the mouse. Please see the attached image for an example.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for those arrows or is it possible to add one?

Note: I am aware that we can scroll through tabs directly with Alt+[Num], or by using Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDown. I have dozens of tabs open, so if I want to go to tab 35 I can't use Alt+[Num], and using Ctrl+PgDn is a problem if I'm say in tab 65. The reason is that with Ctrl+PgDn the tabs from 65 back to 35 would all open while I'm passing through them.
