Moving from tab to tab

[George Staikos]

The problem is that in all these applications, the keys you mention have 
different meaning.  Shift+Left/Right in anything like ksirc will not work 
because the lineedit uses those.  Alt+left/Right are used in konqueror 
already.  Finding a keyset that can be used everywhere is not easy.
