Consistency please?

Ctrl+Alt+PgUp/PgDn is actually the only shortcut that's guaranteed to
work "across the rest of the Gnome tabbed interface UI"-- Ctrl+PgUp/
Dn sometimes fails when the focused widget eats it to do something
else, which resulted in lots of bug reports. That's why the Alt
variant was added to the notebook widget, and IMHO should really be
the one that's documented wherever we document that sort of thing
(Accessibility Guide?)

Most standard keybindings are documented in the User Guide
and repeated in the Accessibility Guide. Non-disabled folks
who just want some keyboard shortcuts aren't going to think
to look in the AG.

This is the first I've heard of the Ctrl+Alt+PageUp/PageDown
think. Somebody should have notified the documentation team.
We can't document things if we don't know about them.
