Public bug reported: On a clean Ubuntu 18.04, the Gnome Terminal menubar mnemonics are disabled, which makes quick launching of terminals with different profiles difficult.
There is still a setting for turning on/off mnemonics in dconf-editor: dconf read /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/mnemonics-enabled I have set this option to true, but nothing changes! --- If I can hypothesise what the problem is here, I can see that terminal does some clever stuff to create two different menu .ui files using XML manipulation, eg https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/tree/src/terminal-menubar.ui.in?h=ubuntu/bionic-updates https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/tree/src/Makefile.am?h=ubuntu/bionic-updates Hence there are TWO versions of the menu descriptions in Terminal. I understand there were some tricks required to implement the Unity menus on top of standard GTK applications, so perhaps this switching of the menu descriptions causes problems the way Unity picks up the menu information and exposes it. Is there a solution for this? Is there a way to compile terminal differently to get the with-mnemonic version instead of the without- mnemonic version, if it's not possible for on-the-fly switching to be enabled? ** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1785444 Title: Can't enable menubar mnemonics for gnome-terminal in 18.04 under Unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1785444/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
