How to switch between Finder tabs using keyboard?

Hello,


I can't find a way to set a key-binding to switch between Finder tabs, news in OSX Mavericks.


I need it because using browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox), using IDE software (XCode, Eclipse, Sublime Text 2) and other "tab-enabled" software I set the same key-binding, so for me can be useful to set a key-binding also for "Finder-tab-switch"..


Can anyone help me?


Regards,


Ricky

I find the solution for myself.


1) Go to System preferences > Keyboard > (Key-bindings) and select form left menu "Apps (key bindings)" and click on "plus" button on the right side

2) Choose as "Application" you "Finder

3) Insert the exact phrase that you can find into Finder menu "View" > "Show previous panel" / "Show next panel"

4) Select your key-binding.

Cheers.
