True. But they are placed side by side on most keyboard, don't require to 
press a third key (Shift) for both or even only one direction and are com-
fortable with one hand usage. So any objection or other opinion against it?

Btw, concerning your desktop/window switching consistency argument: Desktops
and windows don't really have a fixed orientation to each other, it's only 
forward or backward (with Shift) switching in a list. Tabs are always left
or right of each other, so it's better to choose keys which reflect this.

Bye,
