GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 705078
GtkApplication accelerators making it difficult for certain console apps
Last modified: 2014-04-29 15:32:27 UTC
Since the move to GtkApplication accelerators, certain console key combos that used to work before stopped. Namely the Alt-{n} window switching in irssi when there are no tabs in the current terminal window. From my armchair I see two options. - Disable *-tab actions whenever there is only on active terminal in the window. - Teach gtkapp accelerators how to avoid activating an action and returning the keys to the app in certain conditions , say a g-t profile setting.

Since gnome-terminal 3.12 has been released, this bug affects me as well. I often used Alt+[0-9] in combination with irssi in a remote tmux session to switch windows. This no longer works and it is rather annoying. Could this functionality be restored? This person [1] has the same problem. His workaround is probably not very useful though, since that breaks the other half of my use cases. ;) [1] http://paul.frields.org/2014/03/28/irssi-terminal-gnome-3-12-fedora-20/
