Because its already assigned to internal window-management, I guess it
could be set for the navigation along the tabs. So if Kate uses
Alt-<arrow> for that Kate is fine already, else you'd have to change for
example to Ctrl-<arrow>. 

The reasoning for using Alt-* for such things is pretty simple: Many of
the existing Shortcuts for internal window management already are
Alt-Shortcuts. And we can't easily change to have Ctrl+Letter for
Accelerator activation - AFAIK.
