Hello, Chris! FYI: changed my email address. Some more testing on Arch Linux 64bit, XFCE:
An hotkey assignment <Tab> works fine, but <Ctrl>+<Tab> becomes <Ctrl>-<I> <Ctrl>-<F> doesn't get accepted at all (keypress is ignored, nothnig happens). I think I'll stop digging around that until you get the next version out.
