      Alt-b in rox-term opens a tab dialog. Gnu readline has Alt-b move back on the command line. Is there a preference available in rox-term to use the readline keystrokes. Or shall I just use urxvt?

        This works in rox-term, which has already assigned the Alt key for its own purpose:

        “If you do not have a meta key, the identical keystroke can be generated by typing ESC first, and then typing k. Either process is known as metafying the k key.”

        Not so handy.

            I might prefer LXTerminal:
            Menu, Edit, Preferences, Advanced:
            Check! Disable using Alt-n for tabs
