TB128: `ALT + ⇨` and `ALT + ⇦` don't navigate to next / previous tabs anymore

In Thunderbird 128

the keyboard combos ALT + ⇨ and ALT + ⇦ don't navigate to next / previous tabs anymore. Clearly a regression caused by Thunderbird 128.

Here is the option on the General tab:

Apparently the keypress event hast been fully deprecated in Tb128. We now have to use keydown instead.

quickfix version is here:

The previous version had 1 problem: Letter shortcuts such as Shift+M, Shift+J triggered quickMove functionality even when typing in the quick search text, apparently this one again changed its implementation like in TB19 and TB115 before. New version with fix:

QuickFolders-mx-6.7pre99.zip
