[Bug 1449816] [NEW] unable to use Meta in custom keyboard shortcuts

[Richard Hansen]

Public bug reported:

[Impact]

Custom keyboard shortcut bindings involving the Meta key are ignored.

[Test Case]

  1. Go to Settings -> Configure Shortcuts...
  2. Find the New Tab action for konsole
  3. Under the Shortcut column, set a Custom shortcut to Meta-T
  4. Click OK
  5. Hit Meta-T
  6. Observe that konsole emits "\030 at st" (where "\030" is the ASCII cancel character, AKA Ctrl-X or ^X) to the terminal rather than creating a new tab

[Other Info]

This is a regression from Utopic (14.10).
