Bug Description

Checkout bash user manual at http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#Searching

Gnome-terminal allow to use Alt+b shortcut to move one word back,
but does not allow to use Alt+f shortcut to move one word forward.

Gnome-terminal uses Alt+f shortcut as command to open the File menu.
I know that Alt+letter convenient is a standard,
but it definetly should allow to use standard bash shortcuts.

I test it In Konsole terminal emulator both Alt+f and Alt+b works there

So Gome-terminal should do the same

Confirmed, work-around:

Edit -> Keyboard shortcuts. Untick "Enable menu access keys (such as Alt+F to open the File menu). Press Close.
