Small keyboard shortcut feature request for Chrome on iPad

Reported by neal...@gmail.com, Nov 18 2017

Issue description

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Safari supports using Ctrl-Tab & Ctrl-Shift Tab to navigate through tabs, and I think that having these shortcuts and would make it easier to switch.

And a really nit picky request is to automatically focus the Omni box when you use Command-T to open a new tab.  Hitting tab to focus it after it opens isn’t a big deal but it also seems to scroll the new tab page

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?

These sounds like good suggestions and there may already be another feature requests for at least one of the two suggestions.

Thank you for the suggestions!

Autofocus the omnibox on ⌘T
============================
This is tracked by  issue 548179 . I never got the bandwidth to address it completely, but now that the UX is clear, we "just" have to implement it.
Note that in the meantime, you can focus the omnibox with ⌘L, as on Chrome Mac and on Safari.

Move between tabs
=================
You can use ⌘⌥→ and ⌘⌥← which are the official shortcuts for Chrome on desktop.
And since on desktop Chrome also supports ⌃⇥ and ⌃⇧⇥, it's a good idea to do the same!
I send https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/781631 for review to add them.

More shortcuts
==============
Note: you might find interesting keyboard shortcuts in this list: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/fiR1lQ0mpbw;context-place=forum/chrome
and on the iOS HUD that appears when long-pressing the ⌘ key.

Add keyboard shortcuts to change tabs

There were already shortcuts to switch tabs, but this CL adds support for
Safari-style shortcuts. Those are already supported on Chrome Mac.
