I don't know if it is a bug or not, but indeed I should have posted that in "Answers"; I will post the question there in case anyone has the same questions. Now that this (invalid) bug is here, I follow up here.

Your suggested solution does not work: using the settings you write, when I hit Ctrl-PageUp/Down, it moves the current tab to the left or to the right while keeping focus on it. I still need to do Ctrl-Alt-PageUp/Down to get focus on the previous or next tab. In other words, I don't want to move a tab, I want to move TO a tab.

It happens that if I say

switch_tab_accelerator=4
move_tab_accelerator=5
prev_tab_key=Page_Up
next_tab_key=Page_Down

I get the expected behaviour for Ctrl-PageUp/Down, which solves the initial question, but now the bindings Ctrl-Shift-PageUp/Down for moving the current tab do not work anymore. What would be the proper way to achieve this?
