I don't think these shortcuts are a good idea. Home, End, Page Up and Page Down and their variants using Control or Shift+Control are often used by the content displayed inside the tabs (text editor, web browser, terminal to name a few) and will therefore get intercepted by the content most of the time. This means the shortcuts won't work properly, or we'll steal the content's shortcuts, which is a bad idea.
I propose to use Arrow keys because they are much more intuitive.
Anyway, this should be discussed here:
