            Bug ID: 493126
           Summary: Default Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab binding deviates
                    from conventions
    Classification: Applications
           Product: konsole
           Version: 24.08.0
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: tabbar
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: mail at kisaragi-hiu.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Konsole's default binding for Ctrl+Tab is to go to the previously used tab (and
Ctrl+Shift+Tab is the reverse of that).

In every other app that has tabs and which binds Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab to
switch tabs, they are always bound to Next Tab / Previous Tab (tab to the right
/ tab to the left).

This default behavior is surprising and unintuitive.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Konsole
2. Make sure the keybinds are reset to default (maybe save your own bindings
before doing this)
3. Open two new tabs (so the tab order matters)
4. Use the common shortcut, Ctrl+Tab, to switch tabs

OBSERVED RESULT
Ctrl+Tab appears to switch to the tab to the left (as new tabs are opened to
the right).
If new tabs are opened after this point, Ctrl+Tab appears to jump to some
random tab until you realize it's jumping to the previously used tab.

EXPECTED RESULT
Ctrl+Tab switches to the tab to the right and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to the left, as is
the case in all browsers, all tabbed file managers, all tabbed editors that use
Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab, and all tabbed applications in general.
