Comment (by jscipione):
Cmd+[1-9] make it very easy to switch directly to the tab you want, with
Cmd+[PgUp|PgDn] you'd have to click the button potentially many times to
get to the desired tab. Either way is imperfect, the fallback is of course
to click the tab you want with the mouse and is what most people are going
to do anyway.
As far as use of shortcuts elsewhere we use Cmd+Ctrl+Cursor to switch
workspaces because Cmd is reserved for application use, same with using
Opt+cursor for S&T.
In WebPositive Cmd+[left|right] is used to navigate back and forwards in
history. There was some discussion about changing that to
Ctrl+[left|right] but unfortunately all application shortcuts in Haiku
must include the Cmd key so that is not an option. Cmd+[PgUp|PgDn] could
be used for switching between the next and previous tab, but I wouldn't
expect the feature to be used much since the user is unlikely to think of
that on their own.
We've created a bit of a mess for ourselves here already so we should
tread carefully. Is Cmd+[PgUp|PgDn] a good set of shortcuts to use? I'd
say no, but the good alternatives are already taken. If you really want to
solve the problem, that is the problem that must be solved, this seems
like it is just another band-aid on top.
