[2.33] Ctrl-tab sends Tab instead of switching window

Now, I'm sure some people will say, if you are in character mode, Ctrl-Tab should send Ctrl-Tab down the wire to whatever you are connected to. But I think it is sending just a Tab (because Bash responds as if I've sent a Tab). And I'd like it to switch between my session windows, which it certainly isn't. [:wink:]

Well, in Character Mode, NONE of the normal Windows keys are going to work like you'd expect. That's the definition of Character Mode. Ctrl-Tab should be sending Ctrl-Tab to the server. You can check this by opening the Script Debugger and turn on the Show Raw Input/Output to see exactly what TeSSH is sending to the server. But TeSSH definitely isn't going to kludge this to switch session windows. Just like Ctrl-C doesn't do Copy, and Ctrl-V doesn't do a paste. If the command line has the focus, then Ctrl-Tab should switch windows, but not if the output window has focus in character mode. Making exceptions for certain keys defeats the purpose of character mode.

Fair enough. This is what TeSSH is sending to the server: 
i     IVRA3 ><9>
i     IVRA3 <<CR><LF>
Display all 2464 possibilities? (y or n)

OK, definitely looks like a bug in the keyboard override routine that isn't handling the Ctrl/Shift/Alt stuff properly. Added to bug list.
