First, I would recommend not using ^T, but some (not yet used!)
bizarre key-combination on the console. Of course Emacs, e.g., will
have to see the ^T and intercept it, so you won't be able to use this
feature when running any program that uses ^T. BUT: Bash also might
use ^T.
Yes, I see the problem you are looking at. I didn't install this patch
but at least on old local implementations of ^T on BSD the ^T was just another
"terminal character" which could be changed (or completly disabled) with stty.
I think this will answer your problems.
Also most (i.e. 99+%) of my work on linux is done through a telnet from xterm
on another unix machine so I'm affraid that if the combination won't be
relatively standard (or settable) then I won't be able to use it.
