I've been lurking for a several weeks, pardon my jumping in.

If by panels, you mean the tabs, GTK uses Ctrl+PgUp/PgDown to switch.

If I misunderstood, and you mean the regions like worklist/available items,
I've often seen Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab to cycle between logical regions in
a dialog (instead of the Tab key's normal behavior of cycling through every
hotspot).
