Description Inge Wallin 2004-07-30 20:48:29 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.2)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs

The default shortcut for "Activate Next Tab" is Ctrl-. (alternate is Ctrl-]) and the shortcut for "Activate Previous Tab" is Ctrl-, (alternate Ctrl-[).  At least they are on my Fedora Core 2, a platform that is missing in the bug report tool, by the way.

The shortcuts for the same thing in Konsole are Ctrl-Right and Ctrl-Left, respectively, although they are called "Go to Next Session" and "Go to Previous Session" instead.

This is wrong.  Except for the fact that I like the ones in Konsole better, I think that the default shortcuts should be the same for both programs, and in fact for all programs that implement tabbed behaviour.  This is a simple useability issue.

If Ctrl-. and Ctrl-, are too much ingrained into people to change, at least I think that the alternate default in Konqueror should be Ctrl-Right and Ctrl-Left.
