Description Deepak Mittal 2011-10-08 17:56:34 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

Keyboard shortcuts for various applications are inconsistent for eg; for changing tabs in dolphin, kate, yakuake & kopete. 
Dolphin - Ctrl + tab, Ctrl + shift + tab  
Kopete - Ctrl + ], Ctrl + [
Yakuake - Shift + left, shift + right
Kate - Alt + left, Alt + right

The standard across most applications with tabs has generally (on both windows and gnome) been Ctrl+tab and Ctrl+shift+tab, or Ctrl+PgUP and Ctrl+PgDn. When I first started using KDE few months back, I had lot of trouble with learning the new shortcuts and I assume it'd be same with a lot of other users too.

I also know I can change the shortcut keys to suit my needs but shouldn't the default shortcut keys be the one being used across most applications? Then whoever needs a different-from-standard shortcut keys, can change it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try shortcut keys on the applications mentioned

Actual Results:  
Different shortcut keys for different applications

Expected Results:  
Consistent shortcut keys should be used for same function across different applications.
