Configuring vim for switching between tabs

I checked the mapping for <F8> and <F9> key and nothing is mapped to these two keys.

:verbose map <F8>
No mapping found

:verbose map <F9>
No mapping found

I'd like to set <F8> key to previous tag which is gT right now and <F9> key to next tab which is gt.

How do I do this?

I read stuff online but none of the hacks worked for me.

try adding the following to your vimrc:

nnoremap <F8> gT
nnoremap <F9> gt

After adding to your vimrc you will need to either restart vim or source your vimrc file again.
