Looks like the tab key cycles focus among open windows of a given application (e.g., multiple terminals). Pressing ctrl-tab gives the correct filename-completion behavior.
Everything works fine when I connect from a Windows X2Go client. I've had keyboard mapping issues with the OS X client previously, so my guess would be that the problem is with it. Is there a way that I can fix this key mapping in my install of the OS X X2Go client?

I'm running X2Go Client V. 4.0.1.3 on OS X 10.9.1 and connecting to X2Go Server on Ubuntu 13.10 that reports as:
x2goagent: 3.5.0.22 x2goserver: 4.0.1.13 x2goserver-extensions: 4.0.1.13
The problem is that the tab key on my Mac doesn't generate a tab character in the X2Go session. It doesn't perform filename completion in bash or emacs or a tab function in text editors. In bash, the cursor does become hollow when the tab key is pressed.
I can get filename completion in bash by hitting esc three times. Needing three presses seems odd—it's usually two.
Any suggestions on restoring functionality in tab?
