Yes. for me this pause is veery long. I thought is only for me (I have
some problems compiling Konq and it worked only after commenting out few
lines of code :/)

What for other tabs? I prefer to see favicons there for quick
recognition of them. There should also be possibility to close them with
tab-icon - it is even more important that for current tab.

100% agree.
BTW I have impression they are already standarised.

My settings (personalized):
Go one Tab left:  Ctrl+PageUp
Go one Tab right: Ctrl+PageDown
Move Tab left:    Ctrl+Left
Move Tab right:   Ctrl+Right

This is only example. I suggested them some time ago and was told it is
impossible to implement them in Konsole(?) or something.

One more feature in moving tabs would be moving them in circle, not
line: Ctrl+Left on first tab currently does nothing. It should move this
tab to far right.
