Is there a way to set ctrl+tab for switching between tabs in terminal?

There should be this file in your home directory: .config/xfce4/terminal/accels.scm

Open it in your favorite text editor and edit these lines to your liking:

; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/prev-tab" "<Primary>Page_Up")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/next-tab" "<Primary>Page_Down")

Remember to edit the subject of your topic to include the [SOLVED] tag once you're satisfied with the answers or have found a solution (in which case, don't forget to share it as well), so that other members of the community can quickly refer to it and save their time. Pretty please!

I uncommented these lines but nothing happens. Or do you mean i have to edit "<Primary>Page_Up" and "<Primary>Page_Down"?

Change this line

; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/next-tab" "<Primary>Page_Down")

to this

(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/next-tab" "<Primary>Tab")
