--- Comment #3 from ady <adylo811517 at gmail.com> ---
Re-reading my comment 2, I think it needs some clarification.

On MS Windows, [CTRL]+([SHIFT]+)[TAB] is used (on the whole OS) to move the
next(previous) tab.

In MS Excel and in Calc, [CTRL]+[PgDn] and [CTRL]+[PgUp] are used to move to
the next (displayed) worksheet.

In Calc, there was a "request" to add [CTRL]+([SHIFT]+)[TAB] to move between
worksheets (IIUC, this was bug 86404, implemented in LO 6.1/6.2). There were
problems with this request:

* conflict on other OSes/DEs.
* misinterpretation of the original request.

Instead of having the same action(s) for different shortcuts, the real
improvement should be to make the shortcuts with [TAB] more useful.

For example, having the Tabbed UI, it would be useful to move to the
next/previous UI *tab* (not worksheet) with [CTRL]+([SHIFT]+)[TAB]
(respectively).

The original request about [CTRL]+[TAB] (bug 86404) was to be able to move
between the "last used" worksheet (not to the next/prior worksheet), similar to
switching between windows with [ALT]+[TAB] under MS windows in general. There
are additional possible shortcuts for slightly different actions, such as
holding [CTRL] while pressing [TAB] multiple times.

Currently, a lot of actions related to changing worksheets is messed up
(including RTL layout, the on-screen controls...), so also re-evaluating the
shortcuts (while maintaining the more traditional shortcuts that are also used
by other spreadsheet tools too) would make sense.
