Version: xfce4-terminal 0.6.3 (Xfce 4.10) Reference forum thread: http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=8570 When overriding an xfce4-terminal accelerator map by creating the file ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/accels.scm and adding an entry, xfce4-terminal will (it appears on first use of an accelerator) populate the file with the default accelerators (commented out) but with the override accelerator properly defined. Unfortunately, the goto-tab-X accelerators are not properly defined in this file (accels.scm) resulting in the loss of the default Alt+1, Alt+2...Alt+x accelerator key functionality.
Yeah, this is happening because those Alt+digit shortcuts are created within the accelerators load function but only if no accels.scm file was loaded. If it's loaded but does not contain them, they will never be created and thus saved.
