Description Colin Walters 2010-12-18 20:31:13 UTC 
Defaulting to overriding keys by default is wrong if we want to be a
faithful Unix emulator.  It's totally valid historically for
applications to use these keys.

bash for example uses Alt-f for word navigation.

Basically, gnome-terminal can't be a "nice" GNOME app because
it's an emulator.

GNOME 3 is a good time to revisit this historical mistake.
Comment 3 Christian Persch 2011-01-15 21:58:07 UTC 
What about other stuff like shortcuts (Ctrl-Shift-C copy, V paste, etc) ? And the keys that vte handles internally, like Shift+Insert etc? Should they be given to the app too?
