Description of problem: ^- (control-minus) inserts simple '-' to the terminal. I'm a joe user (and joe uses ^_ for "undo") and this is the most annoying thing. I'm trying to convert myself to gnome-terminal and I can't find any means to bind keys in it unlike any terminal I used over the years, so I just patched vte to do what I want and what Linux console does for years. If Linux console does something, it can't be bad, right? :) Please apply it, I won't even believe if you tell me someone or something depends on ^- being just "-" :) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Patch is against vte-0.12.1-1.fc5.1

Actually xterm does the same, since gnome-terminal emulates xterm I believe gnome terminals behaviour is correct. I'm a joe user myself and I have always used CTRL+SHIFT+- as undo. Although I must admit this is a bit inconsistent with redo which is CTRL+SHIFT+6 (CTRL-^) where just CTRL+6 works too.
Looks like it fixed itself. It's fixed in vte 0.16.9, but I don't know exactly when it happened. Should I close it as fixed in CURRENTRELEASE or something?
