Move between tabs with Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab, or jump straight to one with Ctrl and its number (Ctrl+1 for the first tab, and so on — the numbers follow whatever order you've set the tabs in).

The Audio cue sounds (Alt+N) list shows every cue by name. Use the up and down arrow keys to move between them — as you land on each cue, RemSound plays its current sound, so you can hear what's set just by arrowing through.
