I had no idea about control-pageup/down. Of course, on my
laptop keyboard we're talking about control-shift-fn-pgUp,
which is starting to get inconvenient, and requires the use
of both hands. { and } are shifted on my desktop keyboard,
though (they are above [ and ]).
You can't win with keybindings, all you can do is provide some
default sets, and allow rebinding as much as possible, preferably
in a way that can be saved to a single file to be moved to another
computer as a starting point.
I agree, but lets aim for default shortcuts that people already recognize from other applications. Ctrl-PgUp/Down is the de facto standard.
The most irritating thing is when the mouse wheel switches tabs,
e.g. in epiphany, because I go to scroll down and instead switch
tabs. I'd like to turn that one off, for sure.
