• Fedora (official repo) (Fedora 29 and later, Rawhide): sudo dnf install gedit-control-your-tabs

• Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab - Switch tabs in most recently used order.
• Ctrl+Page Up / Ctrl+Page Down - Switch tabs in tab row order.

Hold down Ctrl to continue tab switching. Press Esc while switching to cancel and return to the initial tab.

• Use tab row order for Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab - Change Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab to switch tabs in tab row order instead of most recently used order.

The code in controlyourtabs/utils comes from python-gtk-utils; changes should ideally be contributed to that project, then pulled back into this one with git subtree pull.
