To reproduce: just activate the menu "Edit" in gnome-terminal, and if you type ANYTHING while the "paste" menu is highlighted, you get a new keyboard shortcut for paste.!!! (You can also set/reset keyboard shortcuts through the "normal" short-cut editor, "Edit"->"Keyboard shortcuts.". So, whenever i type "p" I paste the contents of the clipboard to terminal! It may be changed, for instance, to the letter "p". The Problem: all-too-often I'm typing away and accidentally change the keyboard shortcut for "paste" (doesn't happen that often for "copy"). I use "Alt" + arrows + keyboard to activate menu items like "File." and "Edit." Paste CTRL+V, Place the cursor anywhere in the text editor and press CTRL+V to insert the. I always use the keyboard shortcuts to copy/paste (shift-control-C, shift-control-V). Select the desired text and press CTRL+C to copy it in the clipboard.

The Question: in gnome-terminal, is it possible disable resetting keyboard shortcuts directly in-place in the menu, so that keyboard shortcuts can ONLY be changed/reset under the "keyboard shortcuts." user-interface?īackground: I don't use the mouse for very much, especially when in "terminal" (/usr/bin/gnome-terminal). These shortcuts are also available on Ubuntu Desktop, but not in the terminal. Keyboard shortcutCTRL is commonly used by computer users to copy paste text and switch to another keyboard shortcutShift is commonly used to copy paste. Note: Select-to-copy and middle-click to paste also works, but it uses an alternate clipboard. This is only a minor inconvenience, but if someone knows the answer I'd be appreciative (and a bit surprised). Using our Ubuntu terminal, we can copy commands from the document testscript to our terminal. Here's your general-purpose copy paste settings with popular terminals: gnome-terminal (most popular on Linux) Copy: Ctrl Shift C.
