            Bug ID: 315599
           Summary: can't switch tabs from keyboard, only swap positions
                    of tabs in tabbar
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: konsole
           Version: 2.8.5
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: tabbar
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: jerkey at halo.nu

linux mint 13 with upgraded 2.8.5 konsole or original 2.8.3 konsole.
open a tab, and open another tab by pressing control-shift-T
there is no way to switch between tabs from the keyboard.
pressing control-shift-leftarrow or rightarrow causes the tabs to change order
in the tabbar, but does not cause focus or display to change tabs.  SOMETIMES
the other tab is visible for less than a second while doing this, and SOMETIMES
one can properly switch tabs.

note:  there is no mention of a keyboard command for switching tabs in the
documentation.  I am also irked that there is no option to enable access to
menus from the keyboard (Alt-F for file for example) considering that this is a
terminal program it should allow for use from the keyboard.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open konsole
2. create a second tab with control-shift-T
3. try to switch tabs without using the mouse, by pressing
control-shift-leftarrow or rightarrow

Actual Results:  
tabs move around on tabbar, changing their sequence, but the terminal stays on
the second tab which you just opened.  SOMETIMES the first tab is briefly
visible for less than a second, and sometimes, rarely, it actually switches
tabs.

Expected Results:  
i expect to be able to switch tabs from the keyboard, either using
control-shift-left/right or control-pgup/pgdn or control-shift-pgup/pgdn or
some way.  I don't care about changing the sequence of tabs in the tab bar, i
care about changing to different tabs.

this is a brand new install of linux mint 13 on a desktop computer with a dell
SK-8135 keyboard.  Before filing the bug i ran sudo apt-get install konsole and
upgraded from 2.8.3 to 2.8.5 but the result was the same.
