Title:
  Tab key takes focus from command line

Status in Pantheon Terminal:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently, when using tab completion (for example) the focused GTK+
  widget changes. This shouldn't happen at all -- tabs should be
  completely isolated to the terminal input itself. We need to override
  the GTK+ tab navigation.

  This is a total show stopper - even if autocompletion would not work -
  losing the input every time the tab-commandline-reflex hits is a total
  usability killer. (from bug 809204)

  When I'm typing something in the text entry and hit the tab key to
  auto-complete something, it autocompletes it, but also takes the focus
  off the text entry and puts it on the tab bar. Hitting the tab key
  again focuses the "new tab" button. Hitting it a third time puts the
  focus back on the text entry. Tab shouldn't even take focus from the
  text entry in the first place. (from bug 807405)

  Pressing the "tab" key to complete suggestions also shifts widget
  focus (to the new tab button), so that pressing enter to complete the
  suggestion opens a new tab and interrupts my workflow. (from bug
  807618)
