For those who are attempting this in a Windows Remote Desktop window it will not work. I struggled with this for quite some time before realizing that the Ctrl+Alt+</Arrow keys/> shortcut was not reaching my remote desktop session :(

I found the reason on stackExchange - https://superuser.com/questions/327866/remote-desktop-sending-ctrl-alt-left-arrow-ctrl-alt-right-arrow-to-the-remote-p

There are some workarounds that are provided in this thread, but none that I could use inside my company. My only solution is to re-map the command to a different shortcut that isn't being consumed by RDP.

Hope it helps someone!
