change alt-tab to ctrl-tab on ubuntu 12.04
Solution 1
You can change your Keyboard Settings from System >> Keyboard >> Shortcuts.
Under Navigation, you should see "Switch Application". You can click it and set the new short cut as you want. Hope it helps.
Solution 2
For certain Keyboard shortcuts you need to also edit these in dconf-tools. At least on 12.04.
Install dconf-tools and start dconf-editor.
Navigate to org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings and change the "switch-windows" key.
Solution 3
For Unity Tweak Tool:
Step 1: Option Selector
Step 2: Change. I use "Alt+c" is more comfortable for me.

I have an apple USB keybord for my Ubuntu 12.04. I remapped command left key to control for convenience. And now I switch between apps with Alt+Tab and between tabs within one app with Ctrl+Tab. It's normal but not comfortable and painless.
It would be ideally to remap shortcuts as opposite: Ctrl+Tab - switching between apps, Alt+Tab - between tabs. Can I do it? xmodmap?
UPDATE: here is a screenshot of settings which I apply, restarted but it hasn't changed:
