Description Mantas Mikulėnas (grawity) 2013-08-04 21:32:01 UTC 
Just installed 3.9.90.r8.g641ab59 and noticed a change in how certain keyboard shortcuts work.

Previously, if multiple tabs were open, Alt+number keys would switch the tabs, but if there was only one 'tab', then those keys would be sent to the program running inside the terminal. (If two tabs were open, Alt+1/2 would switch tabs, Alt+3/4/.../0 would be sent to the program.) This behavior was a little confusing at first, but overall much more convenient.

In 3.9.90, Alt+number keys always switch tabs if the shortcuts are defined; they never get sent to the program unless I go to Preferences and actually remove all ten shortcuts.

I'm guessing the change was accidental – commit a319aeb66f maybe. If it was intentional, feel free to close this report as another case of http://xkcd.com/1172/.

Not intentional, but not sure yet how to fix this.
