    When opening any dialog (e.g. Settings) there are tabs which user should be able to navigate through using standard keys - CTRL+(SHIFT)+TAB or CTRL+PageUp/PageDown. Also using (SHIFT)+TAB key user should be able to switch focus between dialog elements in natural order.
    This program offers really huge amount of functions. But don't forget: It's text editor. It does make sense to control it completely from keyboard. Including settings.
    Thanks for any future improvement in keyboard control.

      This is a good candidate for posting on IdeaTorrent, which means people can vote so the most popular ideas/feature requests get implemented quicker.

      Arrows already navigate through tabs in a dialog, they are even simpler to use than Ctrl+PageUp or such.

      Using (shift+)Tab to cycle through the controls of a dialog tab would seem natural, though I never noticed support was missing. I'm usually content with point'n clicking a checkbox once in a while.

      I support the request for support of CTRL+(SHIFT)+TAB to change the tabs in a dialogue, e.g. in the find dialogue. This is the standard behaviour on all OSs I'm using.
