Description

Add popup when navigating across recent tabs with CTRL + Tab, so it is easier to navigate across cycled tabs.

This feature would avoid the issue with the current navigation of cycled tabs of navigating across them and overrating the order of the tabs every time you use the CTRL + Tab shortcut.

To be more specific, this popup should only be visible after using the CTRL + Tab shortcut and while the CTRL key is pressed, like Sidekick browser does.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the tab cycling code (likely in the tab strip component) and implement a popup that appears when CTRL+Tab is held, similar to Sidekick browser. Focus on the UI popup behavior and keyboard event handling.
