editor keyboard shortcut problems

Hi, after upgrading to codeLite 9 on MacOS, I have problems to set the focus to another editor tab. (with the keyboard)
<Fn>+<CMD>+<UP> or <Fn>+<CMD>+<DOWN> works only to switch to the next or previous tab, but freezes if I want to switch to another one.
<control>+<TAB> does not work to switch the tab. (it works perfectly with Windows or Linux)

Also, I could scroll the screen in an older version with <CMD>+<UP> and <CMD>+<DOWN> on MacOS, which is no longer possible.

And in an older Version of codeLite on Linux, I could set the focus the workspace with <AltGr>+<LEFT>, which was super-helpful! (no longer possible in codeLite 9)

Is there a way to remap these internal editor functions? (I cannot find them in the keyboard config dialog)
Also, a suggestion: What about switching the tab focus with <modifier>+<1>, <modifier>+<2>, <modifier>+<3>, etc. ? (like in browsers)

I will check this. It seems that the default keyboard Shift-CMD-LEFT/RIGHT (according to various forums) I will set this to be the default on CodeLite as well

on OSX, CMD-DOWN/UP is the default for moving to start/end document...

I wasn't aware that we had this shortcut (and I should know if we had it...) so I guess that it worked by some magic wxWidgets did and not something intentional

I will try to come up with a better keyboard handling and post here once its done

Thought so, because it was only available on linux. ;) Nevertheless, a hotkey to focus the workspace would be very helpfull. (as there's already a disabling/enabling-workspace hotkey)

Ok, but I miss a shortcut to scroll (one line) up or down now.

Another thing: In the (cool) FIND dialog which blends in at the bottom (or top) of the window, there is no keyboard shortcut to enable/disable case sensitivity and not shortcut to enable/disable full-word search.
It was possible some time ago in the (very old) version where 2 button had texts (instead of icons).

In git master, I have fixed OSX to use Alt-TAB to navigate between tabs (similar to Ctrl-TAB on Linux/Windows)
It now opens the "Tab Selection" dialog where you can continue Alt-TAB to select a different tab
