Description tom 2018-10-31 21:16:49 CET
I cannot disable the shortcut which triggers the "run-help" command. Everytime I press Alt+h the current text is concatenated with "run-help" in the front. I have disabled all shortcut options in the advanced settings and couldn't find any fitting option in ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/accels.scm or ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc files. Is this behaviour intended? Can I somehow disable this shortcut?

Hi tom,
Alt+h is definitely not one of xfce4-terminal's shortcuts. It does nothing on my system which means it's probably not Xfce's, either.
What OS/distribution are you using? What us "run-help" command at all - can it happen that it itself sets a global shortcut?

I am using Manjaro Linux 18.0.0. When I have an empty promt Alt+h does nothing. But as soon as I've entered text "sometext" and hit Alt+h the terminal runs: run-help sometext. "run-help --version" delievers "man 2.8.4". Sorry if this is not a xfce4-terminal bug I really thought this could be the only option. Since Alt+h does nothing in other Apps (Firefox, Sublime Text etc.)

Oh, I see. This must be a feature of the shell you're using (zsh or bash). See, for example, the following links:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/bash#Mimic_Zsh_run-help_ability
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Zsh#Help_command

I'm closing the bug as it has nothing to do with xfce4-terminal.

OK. Thank you very much. I'll read into this. And sorry for bothering you with this wrong bug report.
