gnome-terminal still pops up context menu on F10 key despite disabled in preferences

[Norbert]

Hello!

I have disabled F10 key in gnome-terminal in Edit > Keyboard shortcuts... (unset the mark in "Enable the menu shortcut key (F10 by default") but it continue to work.
So F10 key always open drop-down menu (which normally opens with right mouse click) and it sends "~" to the terminal window.
I can't use Midnight Commander.

Please fix.

Bug observed here before and confirmed again just now. Did not happen in older releases of Ubuntu.

Interestingly enough, just tested, the "F10 pressed" event is indeed sent to the terminal-based program. Tested with midnight commander (asks to quit). Type "cat" then press F9 then F10. Both escape sequences are received.

$ cat
^[[20~^[[21~

Do you confirm that your midnight commander does not receive F10 event ?

[Norbert (nrbrtx)]

Hello, guori!
I tested it again.
1. For cat I have the following:
$ cat
^[[21~

2. For MC. After pressing F10, I get confirmation window
"The Midnight Commander
Do you really want to quit the Midnight Commander?
Yes No"
and right-mouse click menu with selected option "Open terminal". So pressing Enter will open new Terminal. MC remains with confirmation dialog.

I can see exactly the same behaviour on my freshly installed Ubuntu 12.04.

Here I found a workaround: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1017546#p1017546

For gtk-3 apps like gnome-terminal and nautilus I created a new file: ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

@binding-set NoKeyboardNavigation {
 unbind "<shift>F10"
}

* {
 gtk-key-bindings: NoKeyboardNavigation
}
