--- Comment #5 from Peter Wu <peter at lekensteyn.nl> ---
Bug 415164 is about interception of Ctrl-Alt+Left/Right.

This bug is about Alt+n no longer being functional. I first noticed it with
irssi in Yakuake no longer acting on Alt+n. It turns out to be a regression
from a new feature introduced with Bug 416362 where Alt+n switches between
tabs, bisection points to
https://cgit.kde.org/konsole.git/commit/?id=8f25012b426534a0c1c72928a97c573bdd513049

Alt-n is a default shortcut for "digit-argument" (M-0, M-1, ...) as documented
in the readline(3) manual. There may be other programs where Alt is
significant, this is a classic case of https://xkcd.com/1172/

In Konsole, this issue can be solved by disabling Settings -> Configure
Keyboard Shortcuts and disabling "Switch to Tab [number]" for every number 1 to
9. Yakuake does not have such an option though. I am using konsole and yakuake
20.04.0-1 on Arch Linux.

I personally would like this change to be reverted, but if everyone thinks this
new shortcut (in either Konsole or Yakuake) is a good idea, I can live with
that.
