Bug regarding ALT key modifiers / window title with multiple tabs in GUI #855

Description

Current Behavior

When multiple tabs are displayed (i.e. multiple databases are open), ALT key modifiers are automatically assigned to the tabs, also the modifier character '&' is displayed in the window title.

I even at some point encountered the issue that the modifier character appeared in the filename when saving a new database, but I currently fail to reproduce this.

Expected Behavior

  1. No ALT modifiers should be assigned to the tabs at all (see 'Possible Solution')

  2. If the decision is to keep the modifiers, they should not show up in the window title

Possible Solution

In my opinion, it doesn't make much sense to assign ALT modifiers to the tabs, as they would depend on database filenames. Instead, I'd like to suggest implementing static global shortcuts (e.g. ALT + 1..9) to switch between open tabs like Browser applications do (e.g. Firefox).

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

  1. Open multiple databases
  2. At least once switch from one tab to another -> window title issue appears
  3. Hold down ALT key -> tab modifiers become visible
