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

libraries use similar keybindings to GDI. Unification sounds good, but
it seems everyone has an important use for the Ctrl+Tab key combo.
