Yes, Alt+(n) is used for tab-changing.

Which is annoying when using Mozilla and switching tabs with Ctrl+Tab.

Despite what I mentioned above, I'm not sure it falls under xdg 
'jurisdiction'. Windows uses Ctrl+Tab, and for the most part the widget 
libraries use similar keybindings to GDI. Unification sounds good, but 
it seems everyone has an important use for the Ctrl+Tab key combo.
