            Bug ID: 475555
           Summary: ALT-B can not be disable in keyboard-shortcuts.
    Classification: Applications
           Product: konsole
           Version: 23.08.1
          Platform: openSUSE
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: keyboard
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: mbroek2004 at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

When using a GNU Bash shell in a Konsole tab in a window that contains multiple
tabs I noticed that ALT-B is triggering the Konsole bookmark menu to open
whereas I expect my cursor to move backward one single word on my shell because
ALT-B is a common GNU Readline Library shortcut that moves the cursor backward
one word.

In a single console window without tabs the ALT-B respects the GNU Readline
Library keyboard shortcuts that are used by the GNU Bash shell. But once you
have multiple tabs open is does not. It looks like the Konsole application is
interfering with the GNU Readline shortcuts that GNU Bash is using without an
option to disable the ALT-B in the keyboard-shortcut options of the Konsole
application.

More info on GNU Readline Library can be found here:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Konsole
2. Open at least 2 tabs
3. start a GNU Bash shell and and a dummy command consisting of multiple words,
e.g. "echo this && echo that"
4. Issue ALT-B

OBSERVED RESULT

1. Bookmark menu of Konsole application opens.

EXPECTED RESULT

1. Cursor should move backward one word on the shell.
