When split view is active (two panes visible), pressing Tab switches focus to the other pane. When split view is not active, Tab behaves normally (GTK default focus traversal). The handler runs before GTK's default key-press processing so that Tab is intercepted before it gets consumed by the focus chain. Inspired by: linuxmint#3648
