Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
TEST CASE:
1. use intrepid and ubuntu-desktop
2. open gnome-termianl
3. verify that there is no "swtich to tab" section in Edit/Keyboard shortcuts
4. install the gnome-terminal from intrepid-proposed
5. close all open gnome-terminals
6. start s a new one
7. verify that the "switch to tab" option in Edit/Keyboard shortcuts is there
This is an upstream bug [ http://
Description:
In earlier versions of gnome-terminal, there were individual options in the Edit->Keyboard shortcuts menu for "Switch to tab 1", "Switch to tab 2" etc. While these were enabled and bound to alt-1, alt-2, etc by default, it was possible to disable them, which was necessary for use of default key bindings in certain console applications, such as irssi, to switch channels/windows. The current version of gnome-terminal, however, has eliminated these [gconf] settings, and simply enables these keyboard accelerators automatically if there is more than one tab present.
While it wouldn't be as nice as providing the ability to configure or disable custom keyboard accelerators for switching to tabs 1-10 (e.g. letting the user specify "ctrl-alt"[1,2...] as the modifier or something), I would still be much happier with the easier solution of at least giving the user the option to disable the automatic keyboard accelerators than I am with the current behavior.
