to use the quick key tab feature in IE 8:
1. While on a web page with various tabs opened in the same group, Under the IE 8 tools menue do an alt key plus letter T TO OPEN THE TOOLS MENU, then the letter O for options, 2. this brings up a dialogue box, in the dialogue box for general settings, you need to go to the button for "tab browsing settings" and hit the space bar to go into the dialogue box for the various settings, 3. (note in this dialogue box, there is a check box to turn tab browsing on and off as well as a number of other features) 
4. be sure the check box for "quick tabs" is checked
If you do not, then the control key plus letter Q command to get a list of the open web sites in the particular tab you are in, does not work.
As I noted in a previous post, I like using the tab feature when looking at a group of web sites that allow me to easily compare things from each web page, especially in looking for travel items for example. The tab browsing settings has a number of controls that can you understand a little more what tab browing is all about. just noting what works for me and this may not be others "cup of tea" in dealing with IE and controling how many windows are open at a time.

in order to bring up a list of your tabs in IE isn't it CTRL shift Q? and
when the list comes up you can up or down arrow and enter on the tab of your 
choice?
I tried CTRL Q which everyone was suggesting and nothing worked.

You want control+q to bring up a list of your tabs in internet explorer.

Note that you have to use the left and right arrows to navigate this list
not the up and down arrows we are used to.
