Bug Description

gtkterm has mostly Shift-Ctrl-X style keyboard shortcuts. But it has two Ctrl-X style short-cuts:

Send Break Ctrl-B
Load Configuration Ctrl-O

For me, Ctrl-O in particular gets in the way of the nano WriteOut command which is Ctrl-O.

It would be better to change Send Break to Shift-Ctrl-B, and Load Configuration to Shift-Ctrl-O.

Ubuntu 13.04
gtkterm 0.99.7~rc1-0.2ubuntu1

affects: libpam-blue (Ubuntu) → gtkterm (Ubuntu)

Thanks for the report. It might make more sense to report this issue to the developers of gtkterm at https://fedorahosted.org/gtkterm/report as ultimately it is their decision to change default keybindings.

Changed in gtkterm (Ubuntu):
importance: Undecided → Low
status: New → Confirmed

See this gtkterm bug report which covers it:

See this source code which confirms it:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/gtkterm.git/tree/src/widgets.c#n159

Yet, still in Ubuntu 14.04 gtkterm:

Send Break Ctrl-B
Load Configuration Ctrl-O

So I think the source project is okay, but for some reason it's still not right in Ubuntu.

On closer look, it looks as though the bug was originally reported in version 0.99.7-rc1, so Ubuntu needs to update to a newer version of gtkterm.
