keyboard shortcuts

[Mila Kuchta]

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

I want to pass F10 to terminal application but context menu shows.

Disable menu shotcut key doesn't work either.

[William Grant (wgrant)]

I've found this bug quite annoying, too.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

You can easily configure this. Edit -> Key combinations -> disable menu key (sorry, if my translation is not quite accurate, I use the german vesion).

[Mila Kuchta (kuchta)]

As I've already noted, this doesn't work. It works for you?

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Yes it does. For example: using F10 in 'mc' to quit works nicely.

[Mila Kuchta (kuchta)]

But not to me and apparently not for others. Please reopen the bug...

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

You can reopen the bug yourself. Which version of Ubuntu and gnome-terminal do you use? Which locale and architecture is that?

[Mila Kuchta (kuchta)]

Up-to-date dapper desktop. To be specific gnome-terminal is of version 2.14.2-0ubuntu1...

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

marking as unconfirmed, that works fine on my edgy desktop. Might be worth being taking upstream by somebody who actually gets that issue

[Ralph Janke (txwikinger)]

Is there another application running that might create hooks to respond to keystrokes. Beryl uses F10, so maybe that blocks the usage of the key in gnome short-cut configurator.

[Mila Kuchta (kuchta)]

Actually it's problem of old configuration. On new user desktop it's working fine.

[Jérôme Guelfucci (jerome-guelfucci-deactivatedaccount)]

So this bug doesn't happen anymore ?

[Mila Kuchta (kuchta)]

Unfortunatelly, It happens. Even though /apps/gnome-terminal/global/use_menu_accelerators and /apps/gnome-terminal/global/use_mnemonics is off.

[Jérôme Guelfucci (jerome-guelfucci-deactivatedaccount)]

Ok I let this as unconfirmed until someone can confirm.

[Christer Edwards (christer.edwards)]

This issue still happens to me. I'm running the latest Feisty (updated to all repositories as of 2007-Jun-22).

gnome-terminal version 2.18.0
No other applications are running other than defaults.

Tried restarting gnome (ctrl-alt-bkspace) after making the change. Also tried a shutdown and restart. No difference.

Verified that the values in gconf-editor are unchecked in the locations below:
/apps/gnome-terminal/global/use_menu_accelerators
/apps/gnome-terminal/global/use_mnemonics

What other information might be needed to verify this?

[Steve Stalcup (vorian)]

I can confirm this bug as well.

Same as Christer

[Christer Edwards (christer.edwards)]

This seems to be fixed in Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy". I just re-tested on a fresh install by disabling the options in the keyboard shortcuts and opening 'mc'. f10 (or fn-f10 on macbook) then displays the close dialog.

[Jérôme Guelfucci (jerome-guelfucci-deactivatedaccount)]

Anyone can confirm it's fixed ?

[Mila Kuchta (kuchta)]

the application have some problems with old configuration, so when you upgrade the problem preserve.

[Christer Edwards (christer.edwards)]

Two of my machines now running Ubuntu 8.04 alpha 5 do not suffer from this bug.

Is anyone else still having this issue?

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]
