Keyboard shortcuts not working

[dodger]

Good morning,

I've migrate a bit time ago to Arch from Ubuntu and since then, I can't use
the keyboard shortcuts "New tab" & "New window" on roxterm (either with my
personalized config or the default one).

I've tried to erase the whole config dir but I've the same problem.

I'm using fluxbox and the rest applications works fine with the same
shortcuts.

I've tried building roxterm from git (with and without AUR) but I've the same
problem.

There's any way to troubleshoot what's happening?

Thanks!

What version are you using? Ubuntu's official packages are out of date. If
it's 1.18.5 or older please try a newer version from my PPA
https://launchpad.net/~h-realh/+archive/ppa. To enable editing of shortcuts in a newer version check
the option in the configuration manager.

If the problem persists please let me know whether shortcuts are shown in the
menu but they don't work, or if you mean you can't edit them.

Good afternoon,

I'm not using ubuntu :) I'm using Arch.

The version installed with pacman is:

# pacman -Q roxterm
roxterm 1.22.1-1

And as I said in my 1st post (or I tried, sorry for my english), was that I've
built it from source directly cloning the source from git repo & using the
AUR "package" (which is
actually the same :P)

Any of that options works.

If this can help, I'm using CDM
and when I run the compiled version, I saw a warning which says there was an
undeclared variable "$SESSION_MANAGER".

One more thing, when i was building roxterm from source, I get some errors:

dodger@lxdodger ~/Descargas/roxterm $ git clone git://roxterm.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/roxterm/roxterm
dodger@lxdodger ~/Descargas/roxterm $ cd roxterm/
dodger@lxdodger ~/Descargas/roxterm/roxterm $ ./bootstrap.sh
dodger@lxdodger ~/Descargas/roxterm/roxterm $ automake --add-missing
dodger@lxdodger ~/Descargas/roxterm/roxterm $ ./configure --prefix=/home/apps/roxterm
dodger@lxdodger ~/Descargas/roxterm/roxterm $ make
dodger@lxdodger ~/Descargas/roxterm/roxterm $ su
lxdodger roxterm # make install

make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

I simple make a touch of the non-existent files:

for i in ./Help/lib/roxterm_logo.png ./Help/lib/logo_text.png ./Help/lib/header.png ./Help/lib/sprites.png ./Help/lib/roxterm.css ./Help/lib/roxterm_ie.css ./Help/lib/favicon.ico ; do if [ ! -f $i ] ; then  touch $i ; fi  ; done

and then "make install" works.

Thanks!

I read it wrong, I thought you said you had migrated to Ubuntu. What isn't
working? Do you want to change the shortcuts and can't, or does nothing happen
when you press the keys in a terminal? If the latter do other keys work
(perhaps something that doesn't use both shift and ctrl)? Are these the only
shortcuts that don't work?

[dodger]

Don't worry :)

When I press the shortcut I've defined, it doesn't work (only in roxterm, I
use vimperator, scite, fluxbox... and in all of them the same shortcuts
works).

Actually I'm testing:

[roxterm shortcuts scheme]
File/New Window=<Shift><Control>n                                    don't work
File/New Tab=<Shift><Alt>t                                    don't work
File/Close Window=<Shift><Control>q                                    don't work
File/Close Tab=<Shift><Control>w                                    don't work
Tabs/Previous Tab=<Control>Page_Up                                         work
Tabs/Next Tab=<Control>Page_Down                                         work
Edit/Copy=<Shift><Control>c                                    don't work
Edit/Paste=<Shift><Control>v                                    don't work
View/Zoom In=<Control>plus                                    don't have keypad
View/Zoom Out=<Control>minus                                    don't have keypad
View/Normal Size=<Control>0                                    don't have keypad
View/Full Screen=F11                                    don't work
View/Scroll Up One Line=<Shift>Up                                    don't work
View/Scroll Down One Line=<Shift>Down                                    don't work
Help/Help=F1                                    don't work
Edit/Copy & Paste=<Shift><Control>y                                    don't work

[Tony Houghton]

You can use other keys where you don't have a keypad eg Ctrl+Shift+Equals for
Ctrl+Plus.

Are those all the shortcuts ie are there any that do work? It seems as if the
shortcuts aren't being associated with the terminal widget, but I can't think
of any reason why when it works for everyone else. Have you tried gnome-
terminal and/or xfce-terminal?

PS the SESSION_MANAGER issue shouldn't matter, it just means there's no
session manager in your environment so you can't save snapshots of your
desktop.

Good morning,

Of course, I've test other lightweight (and not much lightweight) terminal's:

Sakura, urxvt, lilyterm & gnome-terminal

All of them works :(

If that helps, I can provide a log with the output of a strace running roxterm
or whatever else you tell me to debug :)

Good afternoon,

Grats!

Since about 1 week, I perform Arch update, roxterm is working again!!

Maybe did you found the bug? Or it was an Arch issue?

Anyway if no-one more has the same bug, you can close this thread.

Thank you so much!

[Tony Houghton]

I didn't really change anything specific to shortcuts but there have been
major changes since 1.22.1 which could have affected it. What version are you
using now? It's probably just one of those mysterious glitches that sorts
itself out with a recompile or some apparently unrelated change in a library.

[dodger]

Hi!

I'm using:

community/roxterm 2.1.3-1

I don't know exactly which "real" version is cause in the arch
wiki there's no
more info.

I hadn't change anything in my system config... I just open one roxterm to
check one thing and I get really surprised that shortcuts works :)

It might be your update or any Arch udpate... Anyway, thanks for your support
and this wonderful app :-)
