I'd agree that this has been a bugbear long enough that we should probably try a bit harder to fix it properly. The controls that use Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn just to move focus could possibly just do without (by default, at least); you can always hit Ctrl+up/down a few times instead. The ones that use them for scrolling left/right might be trickier, but I'll need to try and put together a complete list before I try and figure something out.
