Well, Ctrl-<arrow> is a slightly bad example, because that one is widely used 
for you-know-what. However, I think that Kate's next/previous actions should 
take the same shortcuts as next/previous tab actions (for example, like in 
Konqueror, Akregator and Konversation - which would be Ctrl-"." and 
Ctrl-",").

Essentially, those are the same actions, even if implemented with different 
widgets, and I still find it hard to switch my thinking between those.
