Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, in LyX 2.3.7, at least, “tab-group-next” is not listed among the LyX functions when I search the key bindings, and if I simply try to define a new shortcut for that function I’m told that it is "unknown or invalid”. The only function starting with “tab-group” is “tab-group-close”. (Same result under both MacOS and Linux versions of LyX 2.3.7.)
