xfce4-terminal and sending a signal

In the classic xterm, it is possible to use the context menu to send certain signals like SIGHUP and SIGKILL to the process in the terminal. This has been occasionally very useful, if the process in the terminal has set the tty to raw mode, so that ctrl-C and so on are not detected, and then gets stuck. The xfce4-terminal (which I have gradually moved to, due to better clipboard handling) does not seem to have any equivalent feature. Wish list item... - or have I just missed something?

Re: xfce4-terminal and sending a signal

I didn't find it too.
Seems like it's not currently available.
If I have time, maybe I can propose a pull request with it (If I can manage to code it). It could be a nice addition in my opinion.
