What can be improved is the key-combination for switching between the
tabs. For a weird, unknown reason, we don't rely on Ctrl+Tab for switching
between tabs in most applications. That will fit much more in the
expectations of the users, than Ctrl+PGUP/PGDN or even worse
Ctrl+Shift+PGUP/PGDN. Furthermore it will follow the convention of Alt+Tab
and is also more "keyboard-friendly". Hitting Ctrl+Tab is easier than
searching Ctrl+PGUP/PGDN, especially since a lot of manufacturers started
to move around PGUP/PGDN (most ot them seem to search a ideal place for
it...).

e.g. Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab could be used aside of Ctrl+PGUP/PGDN, which
won't hurt people how are already aware of the current behaviour of GNOME.

For me Ctrl+PGUP/PGDN is to browse in order the tabs. Alt+Tab has always
carried more a "recently used", or "history" semantic, so I don't think
they're the same.

Just saw you're right, some applications are already implementing
Ctrl+Tab that way, like Firefox and Thunderbird. Looks like I have an
unusual expectation on the semantics bewind the Tab key.
