R Studio can't enter certain key combos as modified shortcuts

I want to modify the following R Studio keyboard shortcuts



Tools > Modify Keyboard Shortcuts > Open Next Tab > [Ctrl]-[PageDown]
Tools > Modify Keyboard Shortcuts > Open Prev Tab > [Ctrl]-[PageUp]


but the screen that captures your keyboard input won't let me input [Ctrl]-[PageDown] or [Ctrl]-[PageUp]. I can do other keyboard combos. Just not those two (possibly others). I looked at what these two combos are assigned to and cleared them,



Tools > Modify Keyboard Shortcuts > Go to Next Section > [Ctrl]-[PageDown] > Clear
Tools > Modify Keyboard Shortcuts > Go to Previous Section > [Ctrl]-[PageUp] > Clear


Then I tried again to reassign Open Next Tab to [Ctrl]-[PageDown] but again it didn't let me put in this key combo. But I could put in [Ctrl]-[A] or [Ctrl]-[B] for example.



Why is the [Ctrl]-[PageDown] and [Ctrl]-[Up] locked out of use? I was able to use them like this a year ago. The default behavior of [Ctrl]-[PageDown] and [Ctrl]-[Up] moving to the most recently used tab, instead of sequential order (like Chrome, Office, everything else) is not preferred.
