[GNC] Control+PageDown does nothing, Control+PageUp works

[Glenn Fowler]

At least on Windows, CTRL + ALT + PAGEUP/DOWN will work on the accounts tab as well

Adding my observations:  Release 5.14 in Flatpak on Ubuntu:  Ctrl-pg up and ctrl-pg dn both work as expected.  When encountering a report tab that takes a while to load it will not move on until that report has finished loading.  Nice to know about Ctrl-Alt-Space, but I wonder if I will remember it when I need it.
