Public bug reported:

The file .config/gedit/accels used to contain a way to customize
keyboard settings for Gedit. In earlier versions, it used to be possible
to modify this file (for example so that Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn switches between
tabs, which would be consistent with Gnome Terminal).

In the current Gedit version available in Ubuntu 15.10, the file
.config/gedit/accels is always overwritten with clean defaults every
time Gedit starts. It is therefore no longer possible to use this file
to customize keyboard shortcuts. Also, the Ubuntu version of Gedit does
not come with any UI that make it possible to customize keyboard
shortcuts inside Gedit either. Hence, there is no easy way at all to
customize keyboard shortcuts.

This was fixed in Gedit 3.12, ref
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723626

Unfortunately, Ubuntu 15.10 uses a rather antique version of Gedit,
where this problem remains unfixed.

Since you've decided (for various good reasons, I'm sure) to bundle an
older Gedit, please consider backporting the fix referred to above.
