At least Control-Tab works for all international keyboards. On a French
keyboard you have to press Command+< to access this function. Many Apple
default shortcut only work for US keyboards. Not to mention that Apple
international keyboards are totally horrible to code with. I'm not sure
about the other types but the French one has no brackets, no square
brackets, no backslash, no pipe... Of course there are keyboard
shortcuts to access these glyphs but they are just much less workable
than the usual PC layout. (and who needs a second 'enter' key on a
laptop while a 'delete' key or real home/end/page up/page down are not even
present?).
Of course it all goes down to muscle memory but going back and forth
from a Mac to a PC dev machine often drives me crazy.

I have to agree strongly & wholeheartedly with the point abould
control-tab. This to me breaks a universal and fundamental UI convention.
AFAIK control-tab is a Microsoft-ism. It certainly *isn't* a "universal
and fundamental UI convention", however used to it you might be.
Anyway, try Command-` instead (you can see shortcuts like these in the
Keyboard Shortcuts tab of the Keyboard & Mouse preference pane). You
can even rebind it to Control-Tab if you really want.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
