I am not sure what the keys show. I think it depends on how you look at it.

I see what you mean. But taking that adding CTRL+> on top up CTRL+] now only 
makes things more complicated on all layouts (three buttons on both american 
(CTRL+SHIFT+,) and european (CTRL+SHIFT+<) keyboard). I dont see the point in 
having an alternative to the original CTRL+].

I would still prefer to take CTRL+tab, to work better with Qt bindings and 
then move shift-desktop to something else.
