Is there a hotkey to switch between tabs in Gedit?

Question

Is there a hotkey to switch between tabs in Gedit? Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+PageUp are not working. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.

ctrl+alt+pageup and ctrl+alt+pagedown seems working – mateen Jan 28 '15 at 06:45 — mateen, Jan 28 '15 at 06:45

Gedit has this functionality natively, no need for a plugin. Try the following:

These shortcuts are inconsistent with virtually all other applications on Linux, the norm is to use Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown – nedim Dec 15 '16 at 08:26

@nedim: I didn't write Gedit, and I agree completely with you. – dotancohen Dec 15 '16 at 08:28
@nedim, I agree. There might be a historical reason Ctrl+PageUp/Down has already a meaning in gedit (Home/End). http://hamwaves.com/gedit/en/#cursor-navigation – alfC Jan 12 '18 at 02:21
