Keyboard shortcuts conflict

[SchnWalter]

The keyboard shortcuts <Control>Right and <Control>Left are usualy used to go to the Next/Previous words. This applies to text editors even browser, so <Control>Right/Left for switching tabs is counter intuitive. I recommend using <Control>Page_Down/Page_Up. This shortcut is used by most browsers, terminal emulators and file managers to navigate between tabs. Also the in Terra Preferences window you can navigate between tabs with <Control>Page_Down/Page_Up.

Also there is a problem with assigning keyboard shortcuts: instead of grabbing the shortcuts you actually send them to the aplication window, for example try to manually change the "Go to next/previous tab" shortcut to <Control>Page_Up. You'll see that the shortcut is assigned but it's also sent to the aplication

Another patch should be added to fix the "Keyboard Shortcut" grabbing issue. I'm going to look over it these days.

I might add, that <Control>W in Bash should delete a word. <Control><Shift>W for tab closing would be more sensible.

I know this is opinionated, but may I ask why Terra is not using the Terminator keyboard shortcuts?

I had to disable most of the shortcuts from Terra to avoid conflicts and other strange behaviour (seriously CTRL+A mapped?!?).

Also, you will find that a lot of users are transitioning from Terminator to Terra, so this will be a huge feature for them. Terminator team did a great on keyboard mappings and the app itself is very battle tested, so why not leverage from this?

Thank you for the great project!
