Feature Description
Add a keyboard shortcut to move to the next/previous topic in a topic-enabled chat (forum groups and topic-enabled bot DMs) without using the mouse.
Motivation
Telegram for macOS has shortcuts to move between chats (⌥⌘↑ / ⌥⌘↓) and folders (⌘1–9), but nothing to change topic once you are inside a forum chat. Switching topics currently requires clicking the topic list. That makes keyboard-only use of topic-heavy chats (including bot DMs with many topics) slow.

Proposed Solution
- Next topic / previous topic bindings (user-remappable via Settings → General → Keyboard Shortcuts)
- Suggested defaults:
⌥⌘← / ⌥⌘→, or ⌥⌘[ / ⌥⌘]
- Operate on the current chat’s topic list (pinned first, then recency)
- Work in both forum groups and topic-enabled private chats
Alternatives Considered
Additional Context
Native Telegram for Mac 12.x. Confirmed against the published shortcut list (TelegramSwift wiki): chat, folder, and search shortcuts exist; topic switch does not.
