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.

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.
