Just had a look at the GIMP 3.0 milestones page and saw this.

Am I missing anything or is GIMP 3.0 actually going to be released soon?!

That is definitely a helpful alternative. Thank you. :)

On a side-note, one rather annoying thing I noticed back in the 2.x days was the inability to set [TAB] as part of a keyboard shortcut (ideally, for switching image tabs). According to this SE thread, it's because of the inherent limitations of GTK2—the [TAB] key is "reserved for the GTK library". However, the thread also said (second comment) that

What really should happen is that the Ctrk-tab is used in a tabbed display to navigate the tabs. Note that Gimp currently uses the obsolete GTK2. Things could be better wit the GTK3 that will be used in Gimp 3.0.

Are you aware if things are indeed any better now that GIMP uses GTK3? Because unless I'm doing it wrong, it still doesn't seem to let me select the [TAB] key in the Keyboard Shortcuts window.

It doesn't seem possible to use TAB in keybaord shortcuts yet. I think it would be a good feature to have and would make sense!

I currently have Next Image set to ctrl+]
