cannot use the 'd' key in xfce4-terminal [solved]

graysky · 2015-09-25 22:36:20

Today, whenever I hit the 'd' key in xfce4-terminal, it does not echo into the terminal as it should. Instead it invokes the "show menubar" action from the view menu. It has to be a setting since a reboot didn't fix it. Short of nuking my config files, does anyone have a suggestion to undo this? Thanks.

Do you usually have the menu bar hidden or showing?

I've tried a few key combinations and with the menu hidden I can only get it back via right-click -> show menubar, with the menu showing the only key combination I found to hide it was alt+v, m (as it should be).

I'd check the keyboard shortcuts in settings -> keyboard but I doubt you will find anything there, it would apply to the whole desktop not just the terminal. Before nuking your config files, try with a new user, it's a long shot but something else might be wrong.

Check to see if it somehow got mapped via a gtk accelerator. Search ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/accels.scm for "show-menubar".

Bingo! Dunno how that got uncommented but that was the problem. Thanks for the suggestion.

% grep show-menu ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/accels.scm
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/show-menubar" "d")
