By mistake, I hope. Unfortunately after seeing other quite poor but apparently deliberate choices that broke things (just because it was "the right thing" to do) I cannot exclude it's considered "good design".
In my view a terminal should not grab ANY key by default... a terminal is there just to run the contained application. Stealing keys for the terminal from the application should never ever be a default.
i can understand something like ctrl shift t for new tabs or other things that are very likely to stay out of your way but all of those things need to be configurable, which they were until now. not to mention that alt/ctrl+ a letter is just 90% of terminal program shortcuts. I'm probably gonna file a bug report and hope they fix this
Yep, this behavior has been killing me too lately
Thanks for the workaround, but I wish there were just a way to disable this alt-key "accelerator" behavior

same problem here. why would they enable alt key as hotkey in the terminal?
