Bug Description
As it's now becoming a standard behavior (classic/generic pattern detected here therefore), it'll be cool to allow us to switch between the tabs (timeline, mentions, etc.) with Ctrl+Tab. And Ctrl+Shift+Tab for reverse mode.
Used to do that very often in "Echofon for Mac" but also in browsers of all OS and many other applications with "tabs" system (often represented by icons too, like here in Birdie).
TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
OS: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (with Cinnamon)
Birdie version used: the r244 from the DAILY repository

I'll add that the Gnome users are used to use Ctrl+Page Down / Ctrl+Page Up —for reverse switch— to navigate tabs. Even think it's defined as a standard.
So, can be a nice addition too I think.
But still, Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab —for reverse switch— (one hand possible therefore! which explains its popularity) is becoming a new "de facto" standard as used often on all platforms and on cross-platform applications (Chromium/Chrome, Firefox, etc. which by the way offer the two possibilities built-in, so everybody is happy).
Personally, I think these two popular methods to navigate tabs should be added so.
P.S.:
A bonus will be the other classic one: Ctrl+1 to switch to Tab 1 (Timeline), Ctrl+2 to switch to Tab 2 (Mentions), …
"Echofon for Mac" uses that too for example.
