Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch tabs in a project?

Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch data table tabs in a project? For example, some other tabbed programs recognize Alt+PgUp and Alt+PgDn to go to tabs left and right of current.

Help->QuickReferenceCard doesn't explain it well, but says Shift-Escape does something. It puts the keyboard focus on the tabs so the left and right arrows do what you want. (Tested in 16.) In 17 Early Adopter, control-tab might also work.

Thanks for the heads up, @Craige_Hales. I'll update the quick ref card.
