The key bindings associated with the scrolling operation should be user configurable
Submitted by Muktha
Link to original bug (#172766)
Description
Currently, gnome-terminal uses <Shift>
Page Up, <Shift>
Page Down, <Shift>
Home and
<Shift>
End keys to scroll up/down. It would be nice if these keys be made
configurable. This would help people who wish to scroll up/down using only the
PageUp/PageDown/Home/End keys (without having to use the Shift key).
One of the approaches to achieve the above is:
-
Add new gconf keys. -> apps/gnome-terminal/keybindings/scroll_page_up -> apps/gnome-terminal/keybindings/scroll_page_down -> apps/gnome-terminal/keybindings/scroll_home -> apps/gnome-terminal/keybindings/scroll_end
-
In the 'Edit->Keyboard Shortcuts' dialog, include the following under the
'Go' action. (See attached screenshot terminal1.png) -> Scroll One Page Up -> Scroll One Page Down -> Scroll to First Line -> Scroll to Last Line -
In the 'View' menu, add Scroll Page Up, Scroll Page Down, Scroll Home, Scroll End menuitems (See attached screenshot terminal2.png)
I'm attaching terminal and vte patches for the same. Please let know if the approach is fine or is there any other way that the problem can be fixed.
