GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 775375
gedit should use Ctrl + PgUp/PgDn to cycle through tabs once GtkTextView stops using them for something else

In the past (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498973), it has been explained that gedit can't use Ctrl + PgUp/PgDn to cycle through tabs because that shortcut is used by GtkTextView to go to the beginning or end of the current paragraph, and that's true. However, this is an infrequently-used feature, and there is currently a patch to change it to something else so apps using GtkTextView can use the standard shortcut for tab cycling: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737230 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705648 Once that patch is implemented, gedit should finally, at long last, use Ctrl + PgUp/PgDn to cycle through tabs. This will bring it into consistency with Chromium, Terminal, and many other tabbed apps on the GNOME desktop--resolving an extremely common user request going back years and years.
Mass-closing of all gedit bugzilla tickets. Special "code" to find again all those gedit bugzilla tickets that were open before the mass-closing: 2bfe1b0590a78457e1f1a6a90fb975f5878cb60064ccfe1d7db76ca0da52f0f3 By searching the above sha256sum in bugzilla, the gedit contributors can find again the tickets. We may be interested to do so when we work on a specific area of the code, to at least know the known problems and possible enhancements. We do this mass-closing because bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org.
