Description Lasse Schuirmann 2014-11-29 10:41:42 UTC 
Alt+Tab (and Alt+Shift+Tab) is a common shortcut for navigating through tabs.
Many people are used to this and it allows the user to navigate tabs with one
hand. (For Ctrl+ PageUp/PageDown you need a very big hand or both of your
hands making it not really ergonomic IMO.)

Epiphany in addition has the Alt+# shortcut which is also not mentioned on
https://developer.gnome.org/hig/3.14/tabs.html.en

IMO both (Ctrl (Shift) Tab and Alt+#) shortcuts should be added to this page.

Sorry, I meant Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab instead of Alt+...
Comment 2 Lasse Schuirmann 2014-12-18 08:13:35 UTC 
Also look at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738325 which covers the Ctrl+Tab issue.
Comment 3 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 10:53:32 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of  gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-devel-docs/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
