Description

The current keyboard shortcut for changing tabs is cmd+(Left/Right) Arrow. This is also the same Mac wide keyboard shortcut for moving the cursor to the beginning or end of a line of text.

The trend in tabbed programs on the Mac has been to use cmd+{ and cmd+} to change tabs. Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Coda, textmate,etc...

Seems like either adding a toggle in the preferences to change the keyboard shortcut or just flat out changing it would be very nice to resolve the conflict with the default Mac wide keyboard shortcut.

Regular up/down arrow keys without command key also move to the beginning and end of the textfield. We only override one of the two ways.
