Bug#317962: kde: inconsistent keyboard shortcuts for changing tabs

[Jukka Suomela <suo@iki.fi>]

Package: kde
Version: 5:44
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Just some comments about default keyboard shortcuts in KDE
applications. It seems that the shortcuts for activating the previous
or the next tab are not consistent between various KDE applications.
Here are some examples from my KDE installation:

- Konsole (sessions):

        shift + left/right.

- Kopete (multiple chats in the same window), Kate (open files), Kile
  (open files):

        alt + left/right.

- Konqueror (tabs):

        ctrl + "," / "." or
        ctrl + "[" / "]".

Furthermore, these keyboard shortcuts seem to have different uses in
other applications: shift + left/right selects text in most editors
and such; alt + left/right is bound to "back" and "forward" actions in
Konqueror; ctrl + "," / "." expands and collapses threads in Kmail,
etc. Thus, using the wrong shortcuts in the wrong application may lead
into annoying surprises.

Of course it's easy to customize all these, but I think it'd be good
to have a bit more consistent default shortcuts in all KDE
applications.

Best regards,
Jukka Suomela
