You forgot default.Keytab which MakeDefauls converts to default.keytab.h.

Your patch changes default behaviour, e.g. Alt-Backspace (delete wordwise
in Bash). Did you ever try? That's why I wrote you have to change keytables
to adjust it so behaviour stays the same, e.g. for Alt-Backspace you must

 -key Backspace      : "\x7f"
 +key Backspace-Alt  : "\x7f"
 +key Backspace+Alt  : "\E\x7f"

and this for every key assignment in 5 keytables. Makes them unmaintainable.

Did you raise any objection against adding the same option (with standard
prepend) as in xterm? Seems to be more understandable concept for the user.

I could, but don't want to. :-)
