Please answer the questions below, it helps us to keep track of the issue. Please do not ignore it or your issue will be closed.

  1. Which driver are you using and version of it (Ex: PostgreSQL 10.0): n/a, applies to the app as a whole

  2. Which TablePlus build number are you using (the number on the welcome screen, Ex: build 81): 538

  3. The steps to reproduce this issue:

    1. Press Ctrl-Tab, release, observe that you have been switched to the next window
    2. Press Ctrl-Tab, release, observe that you have been switched to the next window after that, not back to the previous one

TablePlus is great and I use it every day, but one thing is getting very frustrating. Most apps with a multi window/tab UI (macOS itself, browsers, VS Code, Sublime Text etc.) allow me to switch between the last used tabs/windows by pressing Ctrl-Tab. AFAICT this is not possible with TablePlus, which is a real shame.

Several times a day I press Ctrl-Tab by force of habit, thinking that it will take me back to the previous tab I was working on, but instead finding myself in an entirely different window (typically a database for an entirely different project). And if I do Ctrl-Tab again, I’m not taken back to the window I was working on, but I am instead taken even further away, to another window for another project.

Could you please add an internal stack of last visited tabs and allow us to "walk the stack" using some shortcut, preferably Ctrl-Tab? So if I’m in a SQL Query tab and press THE_SHORTCUT, I am taken to the previous tab that was used, say a tab for a table. Press THE_SHORTCUT again, and I am taken back to the SQL Query tab. Bonus points: Make it work like every other app that implements this behaviour, where pressing Tab multiple times while Ctrl is held down takes you further back in the stack.
