Bug Description

Firefox and Chromium both use ctrl+pgup or ctrl+pgdown for previous-tab and next-tab, respectively. Presumably we would want to do the same.

I'm bringing this bug back to request that Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown be added as additional shortcuts for switching tabs.

Some web browser users will have muscle memory for those shortcuts and won't like having to switch to Ctrl+Tab.
