129331 - Tab views: Accelerator key suggestion

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 114974

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Alexander Zink :alex]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204
BuildID:    20020204

I suggest to add the "Ctrl-TAB" (forward) and "Ctrl-Shift-TAB" (backward)
keyboard accelerator shortcut for the navigation between the tab views of one
Mozilla application window.

This seems sensible, since
a) "Ctrl-PgUp" and "Ctrl-PgDn" is not really intuitive (at least in my opinion -
I figured this out by pure luck; of course it doesn't hurt to have this as an
additional access combination)
b) "Alt-TAB" / "Alt-Shift-TAB" switch between open application on many platforms
(Linux, Windows)
b) "Ctrl-TAB" / "Ctrl-Shift-TAB" is already widely spread in use for switching
between the open documents of one application
c) "Ctrl-TAB" / "Ctrl-Shift-TAB" is not really necessary to step through the
links of one page, since "TAB" and "Shift-TAB" have the same effect (or did I
miss something?)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Currently only "Ctrl-PgUp" and "Ctrl-PgDn" can be used to switch between TAB views.

Ctrl+Tab is mapped to cycle between frames. See the reasons in Bug 103796

Actually, it's a dupe of 114974 since it mentions how much the current ones suck.
