Allow Ctrl + Alt + Left/Right arrow to go to previous/next tabs in ChromeOS

Project Member Reported by victorhooi@google.com, Oct 31 2016

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 55.0.2883.29
OS Version: 8872.27.0
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
  Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
     Safari 5:
  Firefox 4.x:
     IE 7/8/9:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open up the Chrome browser on ChromeOS.
2. Open up multiple tabs.
3. Press Ctrl + Alt + Left arrow, or Ctrl + Alt + Right arrow.

What is the expected result?
This should let you cycle through previous/next tabs in the Chrome browser.

What happens instead of that?
Nothing.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

On OSX, the shortcut Command + Option + Left/Right arrow will let you cycle through tabs in Chrome.

Moving over to ChromeOS, the equavilent shortcut is Ctrl + Tab or Ctrl + Shift + Tab (which is I assume to mimic Windows behaviour).

It would be fantastic if Ctrl + Alt + Left/Right arrow also performed the same functionality - this would minimise the mental overhead in switching between OSX and ChromeOS platforms, if the shortcuts were at least vaguely similar.

You can do that today with Ctrl+Tab (or Ctrl+Shift+Tab for back)

Yes, I know that - however, this was simply to have parity with Chrome on OSX, and ease the transition.

Ctrl + Alt + Left/Right arrow isn't currently used for anything in Chrome - so it would be great if this was either simply the default, or available as an option.
