Hey Florian,

as you can see
https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-terminal/stable/adv-keyboard-shortcuts.html.enby
default the shortcuts to switch between tabs are control-pageup or
control-pagedown.

If I change the shortcuts to control-alt-left or control-alt-right it
doesn't work using 3.10.1-1 neither.

using control-left or control-right or alt-left or alt-right works fine or
even control-alt-n for instance.

maybe control-alt-ARROW is reserved to be used by gnome-shell or something
else, idk.

thanks
regards
althaser

Hi,

i switched to KDE a while ago, because gnome did loose a lot features i
had been used too.

i remember that there was an hack, to change some variables in the gtk
framework to make the keys work.

See http://askubuntu.com/a/82010/36760 for a solution. It works in Debian 8.1.

The real bug is that Gnome Terminal should detect the conflict, and alert the user. I guess this deserves a separate bug report though.
