I would like to second Melvyn's wish for Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab
allowing to switch between open tabs.

Sacrificing general availability of Ctrl-Tab for the exceptional
insertion of a tab character in a particular context like the one
mentioned above might not be necessary: This could better be realized
with a generic "exceptional insertion" command bound to a single key
that is pressed before the character to insert - very much the way
Ctrl-q (quoted-insert) works in an editor that I'm sure you know about,
Hussein. ;-)

Actual insertability could of course be restricted depending on the
circumstances.
