This is the real default shortcut for changing tab, and its alternative.

In konsole, it can't be ctrl+. to change to the next session, because this key 
should be sent to the shell, and not captured by the GUI.

I don't know for kopete, but for kate, kdevelop, etc, is not "next tab", but 
"next document". Why? Because all of them use KMDI, which can show each 
document in IDEAl mode (by default), tabbed windows, toplevel windows, etc.

Yes, shift+arrow is used to select text in all applications where there is a 
text input field. In KMail, is not ctrl+".", but just "." to expand a thread.

I don't know if kopete is inconsistent or don't, because I use always separate 
windows, and maybe they have a reason for changing this.
