(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           konsole
Version:           2.2.1 (using KDE 2.2.1 )
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 2.95.3
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

It seems that Midnight Commander in Konsole can't distinguish between tab and alt+tab. When I first started MC I could switch the panels with both "tab" and "alt+tab". I used the "learn keys" option to set the "alt+tab" combination for autocomplete but then pressing both "alt+tab" and "tab" performed autocomplete. I couldn't get MC to distinguish these two different key events. I use Polish locale and Polish keyboard.

Fixed in KDE 3.0. As a work-around for this key kombination you can copy
$KDEDIR/share/apps/konsole/default.Keytab  add following and select it:

 key Tab   +Alt        : "\E\t"
 key Tab   -Alt -Shift : "\t"
 key Tab   -Alt +Shift : "\E[Z"
