That is actually what gtk3 does too. When the focus is inside a GtkTextView,
tab inserts a tab, and control-tab switches to the next control. Even if
control-tab usually switches tabs of the dialog.

Well, a redesign will not change the issue: as long as there are e.g. buttons
after the input control which eats tabs, people who can only use a keyboard can
not escape from it the normal way to reach the buttons, they'd have to
shift-tab to escape backward, and press shift-tab a lot of times only to get
back to the buttons, and possibly pressing one time too much and get stuck
*again* in the input control, and thus have to do shift-tabs again (and
possibly again pressing once too much, etc.). That is really not a usable
behavior, while making an exception for control-tab just here would just work,
and be coherent with other UI toolkits.
