Public bug reported: The file .config/gedit/accels used to contain a way to customize keyboard settings for Gedit. In earlier versions, it used to be possible to modify this file (for example so that Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn switches between tabs, which would be consistent with Gnome Terminal).
In the current Gedit version available in Ubuntu 15.10, the file .config/gedit/accels is always overwritten with clean defaults every time Gedit starts. It is therefore no longer possible to use this file to customize keyboard shortcuts. Also, the Ubuntu version of Gedit does not come with any UI that make it possible to customize keyboard shortcuts inside Gedit either. Hence, there is no easy way at all to customize keyboard shortcuts. This was fixed in Gedit 3.12, ref https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723626 Unfortunately, Ubuntu 15.10 uses a rather antique version of Gedit, where this problem remains unfixed. Since you've decided (for various good reasons, I'm sure) to bundle an older Gedit, please consider backporting the fix referred to above.
