Well, not that I know of!! I tried to glance thru the kate shortcuts as well 
as KDE global shotrcuts. But none. Using Alt+> when one end (right end) is 
reached, I cannot get back using Alt+<. But Alt+,. is working fine. If no one 
else is having any similar issues, then we can just ignore it, I might have 
tied it to some other action in some other software!

While I was browsing thru Kate shortcuts, I realised that even kate uses 
Ctl+,. (and as alternate Ctl+[]) to navigate left/right tabs!

Thanks. Seems to work fine.

Well what I had in mind was this: Once the workspace borwser is shown (Alt+1), 
the user should be able to browse the variables using the Up and Down arrow 
keys. Thus he/she can then use the context menu key (left of the LeftControl 
key) to either view/rename/copy/delete...  As of now, ".GolbalEnv" is 
selected using Alt+1 but, the arrow keys don't move the selection to the 
variables.

Great. But a new issue: Once the Find input box is set to focus, further usage 
of Alt+5 does not show/hide the Help tool window. As of now it is working 
like this:
Alt+5 : the help tool window is shown and the focus is set to the find input 
box. Perfect.
Tab : focus gets set to the Fields dropdown list. Perfect.
Alt+5 : the focus gets back to the Find input box, instead of hiding the Help 
tool window.
