Description Petr Šplíchal 2015-10-02 10:14:52 UTC

Description of problem:

It seems that the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl-PageUp and Ctrl-PageDown
are now caught by gnome-terminal even if there is a single tab
open. This prevents using the very same shortcuts in applications
running in the terminal, e.g. switching between tabs in Vim.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-terminal-3.14.3-1.el7.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open gnome-terminal window
2. vim -p one two three
3. ctrl-page-down

Actual results:
Nothing happens.

Expected results:
Vim jumps to the second tab.

Additional info:
This worked fine with gnome-terminal-3.8.4-8.el7.x86_64

This is a consequence of:

To test:

a) Open 2 files in vim as:
  $ vim -p file1 file2
   ... and try to use ctrl+page-up/down to move between the tabs

b) Connect to a IRC network using irssi and join two channels:
  $ irssi
  /join #fedora-devel
   ... and try to switch between the channels using alt+1 and alt+2.

This will be part of gnome-terminal-3.14.3-3.el7 once I manage to build it after playing the tagging game.

Comment 10 Petr Šplíchal 2015-10-07 14:08:39 UTC

Great! I confirm this is working fine with the latest package.
Thanks for quickly fixing the regression.
