Egmont, hi, I've seen quite a few users caught out by this. It's a fairly common support question on IRC ("I upgraded and now I can't switch channels in irssi")
I guess that rather than the change being a bad idea, it's a problem because people are used to the old behaviour - they didn't need to clear the keybinding in the past. Can you think of a way that we can help users out? Like showing some visual indication of the swallowed keybinding the first time they try to do it or something? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1431371 Title: Left Alt + <num> is not passed to irssi in terminal when in GUI Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Running Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch) last updated 2015-03-12 14:45 1) Log onto system in graphical mode. 2) Start a terminal, for me gnome-terminal. 3) Start irssi. 4) Make several windows in irssi. 5) Try to use left Alt + window number to change window. Expected to be able to change between windows, outcome is that no action is performed. This has worked fine through all previous Ubuntu releases. It also works fine if I change to text console (Ctrl + Alt + F1) and do the same steps. Any pointers in how to debug this further?
