When you edit multiple files, you often need to change windows.
You can set up vim in windows and gvim to switch between windows with the commonly used Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab
The mappings
nmap <C-Tab> <C-w>w
nmap <C-S-Tab><C-w>W
(They wrap around)

I don't know which way is better, but I couldn't get that way to work. So I use this instead.
:map <C-Tab> :bn<CR>
:map <C-S-Tab> :bp<CR>
(Reminds me of Perl, TMTOWTDI)

glen_ap's suggested mappings for <C-Tab> and <C-S-Tab> will actually cycle back and forth through Vim's BUFFER list, which - although very useful in its own right - is quite different from Gergely's original mappings, which will cycle back and forth through Vim's WINDOW list.
Note that Gergely's original mapping for <C-Tab> (but not the one for <C-S-Tab>) is set by default when you run eVim...
https://www.vim8.org/htmldoc/starting.html#evim-keys
and are indeed very useful to make a multi-windowed Vim behave like tabbed applications ("tabbed browsing" anyone? ;-)

Both versions doesn't work on my vim (VIM - Vi IMproved 6.3). Is there a way to debug this.
