Shortcut Mapper bug

OK - I have a workaround.

I found the IDC_PREV_DOC (50003) and IDC_NEXT_DOC (50004) definitions in the PowerEditr\src\resource.h file and based on how they seem to be used in the Notepad_plus.cpp file I THINK that the following will do the trick.

MANUALLY edit the shortcuts.xml file (the one in your \Documents and settings\<user id>\Application Data\Notepad++ folder, if you have one) and add the following after the </macros> line.
    <InternalCommands>
        <Shortcut name="Prev Tab" id="50003" Ctrl="yes" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="33" />
        <Shortcut name="Next Tab" id="50004" Ctrl="yes" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="34" />
    </InternalCommands>

This worked for me - hopefully it will work for you too!  (And, yes, you can edit it WITH Notepad++ - just be sure to restart NPP for the changes to be loaded.)

New version of Notepad++ will have this fixed, afaik.

"I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume the problem is something w/my system and NOT the software"

Not very likely.  I have the exact same problem.

"does anybody have suggestions on where I should start poking to figure this thing out?"

The source?

Yes, I have same problem. And I am like you, I am used to do with Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDn, and I want to change them. But I want to change #37(macro recording), too. But it does not have "Name", and it disapear every session. I posted the question couple month ago, but I guess Don is too busy and did not reply to the message.

Anyway, I don't have a fix but I am using AutoHotKey to re-map whatever I want to re-map for that session.

Below is the script to re-map #29, #30, and #37, make sure you do this as soon as you start N++ :
