Shift+tab should do the trick.

It also works in Alt-tab to cycle backwards through tabs. – Jonno_FTW Jan 31 '10 at 09:21

Also, in Firefox, you can press Ctrl+tab to cycle through tabs. Ctrl+shift+tab goes backwards too. – Jonno_FTW Jan 31 '10 at 12:42
Seems universal... works in Kate 19.12.3 in 2021 – DeltaFlyer Sep 23 '21 at 17:49
