some problems with MiscCycleTabs=FALSE : 1) when leftmost tab active, prev-tab key binding should be ignored and not send garbage character to shell when rightmost tab active, same issue when hitting next-tab 2) moving tabs left or right ignores MiscCycleTabs, terminal should ignore (and catch) move-tab-left at leftmost and move-tab-right at rightmost. regards, laurent
Hi Laurent, 1) is a duplicate of bug 13862. I do think that the behavior is proper (see the Redhat bug); 2) I tend to agree with you that moving tabs should be disabled; but in that case the client will receive Ctrl+Shift+PgUp/Dn key presses, similarly to 1).
hi Igor, imho this is not a consistent behaviour. key bindings should behave the same and user shoudn't have to check how many tabs are actually openned. these "garbage" characters could be silently inserted inside an important config file being edited, with bad results. roxterm did behave the right way, and swallowed prev/next keys at leftmost and rightmost. prev/next commands can be rebinded to other keys (I use shift-left and shift-right) if someone needs ctrl+pgup/down to be sent to the the shell.

Close this bug and continue tracking the first issue in bug 13862.
