Depends which 'people' you're talking about, of course :) In GNOME, Ctrl
+Alt+PgUp/PgDn is really the current standard, as that's the only
keybinding that works in all situations (because some focused controls
in tabbed dialogs will eat Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn).  

And Mac users will likely be more familiar with Cmd+Shift+[ and Cmd
+Shift+] (aka Cmd+{ and Cmd+}, depending on keyboard layout), as used in
the likes of Safari and Terminal.app.

Cheeri,
Calum.
