Comment 12 for bug 388508

Similar bugs have been filed for empathy, gnome terminal,etc and all have been rejected as they go against GNOME HIG.

There is a nice page on current tab implementations in various gnome programs on gnome live.

i also feel a standard should be maintained and hence if ctrl+tab is to be it we should change the HIG and everything else will follow but i doubt it will be easy to convince the gnome devs.maybe for gnome 3.

but we should not go against upstream on this.

a desktop needs uniformity.
