SUMMARY
Alt-n to switch to the nth tab is not a default. Software is all about having good defaults. Although I could (and did) just add my own shortcuts, not only does the shortcut system have it's own bugs, but it is important to have good behaviors by default, otherwise the end user is left making dozens of small tweaks to have something halfway usable.

Makes sense to me. We added these in Dolphin recently: https://cgit.kde.org/dolphin.git/commit/?id=e04ec8601f3771aa7ce98d9d1de34e332f26c103

Would you like to try your hand at doing the same thing for Konsole, copying the pattern from that Dolphin commit?

Hi Alexander and Nate, while such shortcuts are a good idea in web and file browsers, it might not be the best idea for a terminal emulator as it is a container for other applications that typically claim these key bindings.

I'd suggest to revert these new default shortcuts. Let's continue the discussion in Bug 420503.
