tab-next and tab-prev are the default bindings of J and K, so unless you disabled that it sounds like capslock could be the culprit.

I think you'll get a prompt the next time you open the browser, but if you've already ignored that I'm not sure. Id your systems saves coredumps you might be able to retrieve it, e.g. I see some entries if I run `coredumpctl list qutebrowser`.

Are the missing keybindings ones you set in the session that crashed? Its possible qutebrowser didn't get a chance to write your config. You don't happen to keep your configs under version control, do you?
