Two new shortcuts for Thunar (feature request)

Here is a suggestion (feature request) for a simple feature to increase keyboard usability of Thunar:

Regarding my super-quick Xfce Review I posted here:
https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=82890#p82890

I was thinking: what would be good shortcuts for Thunar, for selecting left or right main panels . Currently, the user has to press the Tab key too many times to select the desired panel.
In my opinion, I think these two would be good:
Ctrl-Left
Ctrl-Right

Also, to make those keyboard shortcuts "visible" to the user, it is the best to add two more entries to the "Go" main menu:
Select Left Panel    Ctrl-Left Arrow
Select Right Panel  Ctrl-Right Arrow

I think those would be great additions.
