#261823 — bookworm: xfce4-terminal bug?

Hi there,

I'm using mc in xfce4-terminal. To close mc you use F10 key. 
Unfortunately, the xfce4-terminal option
Edit->Preferences->Advance->Disable menu shortcut key (F10 by default)
Does not work. Whatever I set, F10 always activates menu.

Is this a bug? Could someone fix? Is there any workaround?

The following also does not help:
In the Settings Editor:
     On the left, under "Channel", scroll down and select "xsettings"
     On the right, under "Property | Type | Locked | Value", look for 
Gtk > MenuBarAccel
     Double-click on the row of "MenuBarAccel" to edit this property
     In the "Edit Property" dialog, delete the value F10 (leave it 
blank) and click Save.

Thanks in advance for any help

Greg

I'm not having the problem you describe on an up-to-date Bookworm
installation. In xfce4-terminal, choosing to disable the menu shortcut
key, starting Midnight Commander and pressing F10 brings up the dialog
asking if I want to quit Midnight Commander.

Are you able to reproduce the issue under a brand new user account?

Yes, just created new user. The issue still persists.

I may have missed some messages in this thread, but when F10 doesn't
work, you can close mc with Esc, 0 (zero). That's sequential, Esc is not a
meta key.

Which version of Debian and xfce4-terminal are you running?

On Bullseye and xfce4-terminal 0.8.10 (Xfce 4.16) I have the menu
shortcut key disabled, and xfce4-terminal passes the F10 key to a
program running in that terminal (emacs -nw in my case). Indeed, I can
leave the window open and toggle the setting, and the terminal will act
appropriately.

With no program running in the terminal, you should see a tilde (~),
which bash will expand properly.

Mine still shows F10. I don't believe I've ever touched it.

Does anybody read signatures any more?

I've got it on sid. I've reported it as bug 1050734.

The other mc workaround is 10 on the menu bar at the bottom.
