I was tired to use different shortcuts on each program, so I decided to create a Plugin for GEdit to have the shortcuts that I'm used to
The shortcuts that I included:
CTRL + TAB = Change Tab
CTRL + SHIFT + TAB = Change Tab (Backwards)
CTRL + T = New Tab
CTRL + F4 = Close tab
So to have CTRL + TAB on your GEdit 2 and this others shortcuts you need to include this plugin to this path if you want to have this for all users:
/usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/
If you want to have it just for your user paste the plugin on:
~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins/.
And if you use GEdit 3 the path to all users is:
/usr/lib/gedit/plugins/
And just for your user:
~/.local/share/gedit/plugins/
To enable GEdit - Tab Switcher and Closer, check the checkbox on:
Edit - Preferences - Plugins - GEdit Tab Switcher and Closer
Download GEdit2 - Tab Switcher and Closer
Download GEdit3 - Tab Switcher and Closer
GEdit Tab Switcher and Closer - Plugin
Enjoy

I tried this plugin in GEdit 3.4.1 (it is default version in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS), Ctrl-Tab and Shift-Ctrl-Tab work as expected, but Ctrl-F4 doesn't close the current tab.
This one works for me:
