Description of the new feature/enhancement

I can add the following to my config to allow switching tabs with CTRL+PGUP/PGDOWN

{ "command": "nextTab", "keys": "ctrl+pagedown" },
{ "command": "prevTab", "keys": "ctrl+pageup" }

If I e. g. press CTRL+PGDOWN and release CTRL, this works fine for one tab. But If I want to switch between multiple tabs like e. g. in webbrowsers, this does not work as expected. If I keep CTRL pressed and press e. g. PGDOWN a second time, the focus changes to the last tab in the list instead of the next one.
The same applies for the other direction with CTRL+PGUP.

In the attached video, you see the following sequences:
CTRL+PGDOWN+PGDOWN
CTRL+PGUP+PGUP

It would be fine if I could switch tabs in Windows Terminal like I am used from other applications.
