Terminal grabs keyboard shortcuts before application in terminal

Description 6cb739 2016-10-19 21:02:14 CEST
Keyboard shortcut events seem to be interpreted by xfce4-terminal even though the shortcut is mapped by the application launched inside xfce4-terminal. This is especially cumbersome in any pager program with vim-like keybindings as using "ctrl-d" for scrolling down is actually closing the terminal.

way to reproduce:
- launch xfce4-terminal
- start a program with "ctrl-d" as mapped shortcut (like man, vim, ...) inside the terminal
- press "ctrl-d" (to scroll down)-> terminal closes without error


Version 0.6.3 (which I used before upgrading) didn't show this behaviour. Disabling "all keyboard shortcuts" in the settings didn't change this.
I'm using the terminal as part of the XFCE desktop on Arch Linux.

If you need further information please ask.

This is weird: for me, both vim and man are treating Ctrl+D as page down, and the terminal is not exiting. I'm under Xfce on Arch Linux as well.

Could you please check if this is also happening in gnome-terminal or vte-2.91 app?

Thanks for your prompt reply.
I checked it with lxterminal, vte-2.91 and gnome-terminal now: ctrl-d is handled as wanted in these.

Works for me as intended (scrolls down).

What happens if you have multiple tabs open, and do this in one of them? Do the other tabs remain opened? (I'm wondering if something weird happens inside the given terminal tab only, or maybe xfce4-terminal crashes or something similar.)
Comment 4 Igor editbugs 2016-10-21 11:52:47 CEST
Can you try it with several tabs, as Egmont proposed?

Hello?
