There is a short cut conflict in the Python Console. In the other editors Ctrl-left Arrow/Right arrow switches work spaces.

This is indeed annoying when common editor key bindings conflict with windowing shortcuts.

However this ticket is only useful to keep open if we can pick some alternative keys and close... otherwise this can be made a TODO for the new keymap.

Will archive as TODO for now, this may be annoying but is not a bug in itself - ctrl arrowkeys is 'universal' way to do word-based navigation/selection in text editors (not only py console in Blender, but text editor too, btw). And not sure those are the only case where some 'local' shortcuts override some 'global' ones, so this is more a global design topic, to know whether we accept or forbid those overridings?
