I believe this was reserved for cases where users wanted to Tab through a user interface but in certain cases (like the old File Chooser) the Tab would be trapped. (This came up a while back in another discussion, something to do with Ctrl+Page Up/Down which I believe the HIG specifies. I'd have to trawl through the archives to check but I think that was it.) > Ctrl+Tab (resp. +Shift+Tab) is in my opinion a good, convenient standard > and should be in GNOME by default. I'd like it too for what it is worth, old Windows habits die hard.
