           Summary: Konsole steals backtab for tab bar
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: R.Eggermont at tudelft.nl


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Konsole does not pass <backtab> (=<shift>+<tab>) to the terminal. This can be
observed in any shell. Focus is lost when <shift>+<tab> is pressed. This is
particularly annoying in programs that split the screen in different sections
(e.g. openSUSE's yast).

Instead, <shift>+<tab> is used to switch (backward) between the items on
Konsole's Tab bar (the 'Close tab' button, tabs (all tabs form a single item)
and the 'New tab' button). Note: this does not make any sense when the
New/Close tab button are not shown.

I found no way (in the settings) to disable this keyboard shortcut.
Configure shortcuts does not list 'Cycling through tab bar items'
as an available action.

I suggest a configurable shortcut is created for this action, and <backtab> is
passed to the terminal by default.

Ps. <backtab> support is correctly provided in the *.keytab files.
