We discussed it on kde-usability. In order not to break current bindings of 
tab, and to have a key combo that is easy on all keyboards I suggested ctrl+> 
and ctrl+<. On most european keyboards they seems to be on the same button in 
bottom left corner, that makes it consistent with tab where you add shift to 
change direction. On american keyboards they are over , and . and also easy 
to access. We didnt hear of any keyboards where they were hard to access.

But rather than changing this everywhere, we should instead add it as a 
standard action in kdelibs and let the respective applications react to that 
action.

Do anyone object if I start fixing this? (I have no idea where to start, but 
it cant that hard to figure out)
