Does it mean the tab-bar related "C-x 6" prefix conflicts with 2C? If so, perhaps we should use "C-x 7" instead, as long as the genie is not far from the bottle.

Even with PuTTY (which generally emulates xterm), C-TAB yields nothing in Emacs. > But maybe this is not on all TTY frames, where 'C-x 6 o' should be > the shortest replacement. Yes, I think so. Thanks.
