Description Jeremy Bicha 2016-06-14 19:54:13 UTC 
gnome-terminal 3.20.2-1ubuntu1~xenial1
vte 0.44.2-1ubuntu1~xenial1
gtk+ 3.20.6-1ubuntu1~ppa1
All above from the GNOME 3 Staging PPA (Xenial)
Running Ubuntu 16.10 (development, "yakkety")
I get the same results with Fedora 24

I can't get GtkInspector to work with gnome-terminal.

https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GTK%2B/Inspector

Steps
=====
1. gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.Debug enable-inspector-keybinding true
2. Open gnome-terminal and press Ctrl+Shift+D

What happens
============
3. gnome-terminal closes

I then tried disabling Keyboard Shortcuts in Edit>Preferences>Shortcuts>Enable shortcuts but it didn't make a difference.
I further tried with Ctrl+Shift+I but that had no effect.

I also tried opening xterm and running
GTK_DEBUG=interactive gnome-terminal
but that didn't work either.

configure with --enable-debug, then from the menubar: Help->Inspector. If you want the GTK_DEBUG env var way, see https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Terminal/Debugging for how to do that.

Thank you!

I did read https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Terminal/FAQ but I didn't see the other page.

Bug 770245 made this easier now.
