The tab list is burried deep. Is there a keyboard "tab" between tabs? Can the tab list be close to the top and allow just a couple strokes to go to a selected tab?

Ctrl+Tab Cycle thru tabs (forward)
Ctrl+Shift+Tab Cycle thru tabs (backward)

Tab list is in tab header's context menu.
Tab list is also an available toolbar button.

Not sooo deep...

Thank you. Ctrl+Tab is used elsewhere, and I am pretty sure I tried it, but it works ok now. Quickly repeated strokes are sometimes dropped and the program wants to load the whole result before changing tabs, but it is workable.

The context menus and toolbars involve the mouse unneccessarily, so it would still be desireable to bring the keyboard access to the tab list within a stroke or two. Thanks for the info, as the mouse will do for now.

I could offer Ctrl+Shift+T for "Tab List...".

"Ctrl+Shift+T"

This sounds good. It did not work, and it is not listed in the menu; is it yet to be coded? Is it for the user to define and set up?

I tried "Ctrl+Shift+Tab" on a lark. It did something, but I am not sure what.

Are keyboard shortcuts still being developed in different parts of the program?

Not yet implemented. It was a suggestion. This forum is something like a think tank. Many of the features you see in XY have been squeezed through a dozen of first class brains here before.
If nobody vetos "Ctrl+Shift+T" today I'll add it tomorrow.

BTW, where should that menu pop up: (a) at cursor position, or (b) at the right or left corner of the tab headers?

Yes.
