The KDE standard keyboard shortcut for switching tabs was changed to ctrl+pgup/pgdn in https://phabricator.kde.org/D6553. This new shortcut works in Konsole, because ctrl+pgup/pgdn don't send any special shell signals or anything. Therefore, Konsole should adopt the same shortcuts to be consistent with other KDE software (and most software that uses tabs, these days). This will require a change to ViewManager.cpp, either by changing the shortcut keys, or preferably by adopting KStandardShortcut::tabPrev() and KStandardShortcut::tabNext().
I have created a quick and dirty patch/phabricator diff available at https://phabricator.kde.org/D7354
