[SOLVED] Shortcuts to xfce4-terminal keyboard buttons

SPYAM · 2020-11-13 18:28:39

Hello
I want to change the terminal shortcuts
From which part and where should I change?
Thank you for your help

EDIT:
Of course, I do not say this Ctrl + Alt + T, I know this myself that when I press these, it enters the terminal ..
I want the shortcuts inside the terminal itself to be copied and pasted and ...

you need to edit this file:

~/.config/xfce4/terminal/accels.scm

for example for copy and paste to be "ctrl-c" and "ctrl-v" you would do the following:

(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/copy" "<Primary>c")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/paste" "<Primary>v")

nb. that there's a reason why "ctrl+c" is not the default copy shortcut in terminals.
In particular because shells use it to cause a SIGINT.

thats true but i never had an issue when i was using xfce4-terminal, copy/paste worked when i wanted and ctrl-c to SIGINT worked fine also, maybe i was just lucky in my use case

The terminal emulator might qualify the input on whether there's a selection (but idk whether the xfce terminal does that)

Unfortunately, these things that you said I did did not happen
But when I press ctrl + c or ctrl + v, they do not work!

My dear friends, now I want to copy a text I selected inside the terminal from the keyboard with the keyboard buttons. Which buttons should I press on the keyboard?

You'll have to start a new terminal process to apply the changes.
The default IBM shortcuts that likely work in most terminals by default are ctrl+insert (copy) and shift+insert (paste)
