If, like most geeks, you are used to using Gaim whether you’re on Windows or Linux boxen outfitted with GNOME, you have probably become accustomed to using Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to cycle forward and backward through tabs in your IM window(s). (What, you didn’t know you could do that? Also try Alt+#, where # is the number of the tab you want to see.) But when I installed KDE on my Fedora box a couple of days ago, I found to my horror that Ctrl+Tab was caught by KDE as what switched desktops.

I don’t switch desktops that often, because number one is my only primary workspace (though I send monitors and all sorts of other miscellany to 2, 3, and 4). So a quick Googling came up with a solution, brought to you by Simon P., to whose website I link in the title as a token of my appreciation.

In his words,

In the Control Center, go to Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Shortcuts, then scroll the list to System -> Navigation -> Walk Through Desktop List, select it, select None for the shortcut, and that’s it.
