There should be a way of switching between tabs using only the keyboard. I can
switch between applications with command-tab (apple-tab), windows within the
current application with command-` (apple-`) but there doesn't seem to be a
method of switching between tabs within the current window. This makes tabs less
frendly then seperate windows.

Reproducible: Always
on windows and linux, ctrl + pgup/down will switch between tabs
Doesn't it work on Mac?
Hmmm... Yes it does seem to. Thanks. However, I'm on a laptop and to get page
down I have to hold fn and press down-arrow. That means I'm having to press
control-fn-down arrow. Is it possible to have a more macintosh way of doing
this. Control is not 'usual' shortcut key on the Mac, which is probably why I
didn't find this myself. Could this be made to be command(apple)-page up and
page down instead (only on the mac). To strengthen this slightly some old apple
keyboards didn't even contain a control key.
