Ctrl+F6 does not seem to work. I am not sure if it has ever worked, but if you right click on a channel tab, you'll notice at the bottom it says "Next Ctrl+F6", if you click it, it will go to the previous channel in the channel list, same as Ctrl+N, but in reverse. But if you hit the key combination, nothing will happen.
