I agree.
As long as keystrokes can be used, the feature is still useful.

I think that a better solution would be to provide a new command
"cycle-tabgroups" that cycles between the top members of each group.

This way, it would be still possible to have both methods bound to
different key shortcuts, and we will get rid of new conditional
checks.

In fact, I believe that "cycle-groups"/"cycle-classes" would also be a
great addition (it will be almost as useful as the tabs), since
currently there's only cycle commands to cycle inside a group or
inside a class, but not between the top members of different
groups/classes.
