The arrow keys used to switch tabs, but we changed that due to a conflict with
the keyboard equivalents for selecting text.

Making those commands for selecting text work even when the text area is not
editable unintentionally broke Safari behavior. It's the correct, desired
behavior in applications such as Mail that don't want to use those arrow keys
for other purposes.

This bug can be fixed in Safari rather than WebKit or we can change the WebKit
behavior for Safari's benefit. Not sure which I should do.

The German version of Safari uses Option-Shift-Command-Ö and
Option-Shift-Command-Ä — not sure where those are on a German keyboard.
