Description Evangelos Foutras 2018-02-25 21:29:43 CET
After upgrading xfce4-terminal to 0.8.7 I can no longer switch tabs using Alt+<n> (e.g. Alt+1 to go to the first tab, Alt+2 for second tab, etc.)

A quick git bisect points to: https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/commit/?id=300d136e

Hi Evangelos, and thanks for the report!
Indeed, the change I made to allow underscore chars in the tabs list, somehow disables shortcuts for switching between tabs. I'm looking into it now trying to find a way to make both work.

BTW, a side question: do you want to allow Arch users to update wtmp file (see bug #13710)?
It would require adding libutempter as a dependency and running configure with --with-utempter option.

Thank you Igor for the quick fix! (And all the improvements in 0.8.7.)

I read the VTE discussion [1] and I feel it's best not to reintroduce support for utmp/wtmp. It's worth noting that this has been the case in Arch for ~2.5 years now. [2]
