Subject: gnome-terminal shortcouts do not work properly with alternative keyboard layouts.

Date: Sun, 04 Jun 2006 23:07:07 +0200

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.14.1
Severity: important

Gnome terminal shortcouts do not work properly. In my case, I use Dvorak
keybord layout, but when I press CTRL-Z, it interprets the keydown as
CTRL-"minus", and font becomes smaller, I can not stop applications...

In dvorak distribution, the 'Z' key is in the place where the minus key
is in qwerty distribution.

Xterm and rxvt do not have this kind of problem.
I am experiencing this problem many years.

Subject: gnome-terminal shortcuts with alternative keyboards

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Similar to the report of this bug.  I had Dvorak as primary key layout,
US Qwerty second.  When I added a 3rd keyboard, Dvorak Left-hand, that
keyboards position of the '-' key leaked through for key mappings.

That is to say, ctrl-a in was being interpreted by gnome-terminal as
ctrl-- (shrink font) because the inactive dvorak-left layout would have
it there.  Obviously, I'd expect the keybindings to only evaluate the
active layout.

Subject: gnome-terminal: terminal zooms in on key [Ctrl]-']', but [Ctrl]-'+' is configured for zooming

Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2006 14:56:40 +0200

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.8.2-2
Followup-For: Bug #370380

I'm using the international us keyboard layout with dead keys. I configured
gnome-terminal to zoom in (increase font size) when I hit [Ctrl]+[+]
(Control and plus Which really is hitting [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[=]). This
works. But the terminal also zooms in when I hit [Ctrl]+[]] (Control and
right bracket).

This probably has no meaning: I have a german layout /printed/ on my
keyboard and there is a '+' marked on the key that I type for a ']' (The
rightmost key in the second row).

HTH,

Richard
