Switching tabs in Mac terminal with Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown

http://serverfault.com – I've recently started using a Mac (running Lion), and there is one inconsistency that's getting to me. In Chrome and MVim, I can switch tabs with Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown. But, in the Terminal, I have to use Cmd+Shift+Left/Right. I'd like to change the latter to Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown, but I can't seem to do this. When I go into System Preferences->Keyboard->Keyboard Shortcuts->Application Shortcuts, and add a shortcut to Terminal's "Select Next Tab", I can set it to be pretty much anything as long as it does not include a PageUp/PageDown key. Why is there such a limitation, and can I get around it (HowTos)

I often switch from French to US keyboard and the usual key shortcut for application keep on being as if it was french.

I know that you can go into the System Settings->Keyboard->Shortcuts and change the bindings for switching between workspaces in the Navigation tab, but this isn't working for me. I can change many other things in Shortcuts, like the shortcut for opening terminal, but for some reason I cannot change the navigation bindings.

I have 2 bugs in my Ubuntu 12.04 fresh installation using a Macbook Pro keyboard. Note: I swapped the Ctrl and Cmd keys (Ctrl and Super on regular keyboards), but that should not affect the shortcuts I program.)

First

I changed the Switch application shortcut from Alt-Tab to Ctrl-Tab. It saves this correctly but the change does not seem to take effect. I rebooted and it still doesn't.

Key mapping problem in qputty 48 weeks 4 days ago

Hello,

I am using fgltty connection (which is actually qputty) to my AIX 6.1 server. The problem is that PageUp and PageDown keys are not working and i cannot find a way to do the correct mapping for this issue. I read and tried many things that i saw in the web but nothing worked.

A month ago, I wanted a light (~3 lb), long-battery-life (>5 hrs) Linux laptop with a good keyboard (full size, including pageup/pagedown keys).
