GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 143291
Shortkeys not handled equally in different tabs
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
open a gnome terminal open a second tab <ctrl><shift><t> go back one tab <ctrl><pgup> try this again <ctrl><pgup> ";5~" appears in my shell (i would expect nothing to happen then) dpkg -l gnome-terminal ii gnome-terminal 2.6.1-1 The GNOME 2 terminal emulator application
can someone pease verify this with gnome terminal 2.7.1?
This has happened for ever and still happens in 2.7.1. The reason for this is that the keyboard shortcut are enabled/disabled depending on which tab is currently active, so that when you are on the 1st tab, <ctrl>Up is disabled, so, since it is not caught by the terminal app, is passed on to the shell or whatever is running in the terminal.
Is that behaviour (the one Mariano describes) intentional or not? This might be an invalid bug if it is. However, it would be nice to know the rationale behind this decision. By the way, this is a duplicate of bug #138609 (or the other way around :).
