Adding IntelliJ shortcut for tab switcher doesn't replicate default behavior

The default IntelliJ shortcut on Mac for switching between a MRU list of tabs is ⌃ control+⇥ tab. Pressing ⇥ tab again while still holding ⌃ control navigates to the next item on the list, and upon releasing ⌃ control, the highlighted item is automatically selected, closing the switcher dialog.

When I add ⌘ command+` to the keymap for Switcher, I can activate it using that shortcut, but releasing ⌘ command doesn't close the dialog or automatically select the highlighted item. It must be selected manually using return.

Does anyone know if it's possible to make a custom shortcut for the tab switcher that behaves the same as the default shortcut?
