Q: Keyboard shortcuts in Mac Terminal
I'm trying to change the keyboard shortcuts in Mac Terminal app for some functions like selecting next tab, selecting previous tab and killing a process. Under System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts > Terminal > + > "Menu Title" > "Keyboard Shortcut"
Keyboard Shortcut :: Menu Title
Control-Tab :: Select Next Tab
Control-Shift-Tab :: Select Previous Tab
⌘C :: Kill Process/Abort/KeyboardInterrupt
None of them have worked. I am assuming the problem is mismatch of the menu title. How can I get the exact menu title used for the functions?
OS: Mac OS X El Capitan
MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015), iOS 9.2

However, the other two functions, for switching between tabs are not working. I have tried quitting the terminal and restarting it again. Still fails to work. Any guesses?
It worked for as soon as I entered the System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcut for Terminal. It did NOT need to restart anything to get it to work.
So After starting from scratch and carefully entering the menu entries, if it does not work, then boot into Safe mode and see if it works that way

This will make sure there are no 3rd party additions interfering with your shortcuts.
After that, create a new account via System Preferences -> Users & Groups, and see if it works from that account. This would isolate if there is something about your normal account that is affecting the shortcuts.
