No configuration for xfce4-terminal keybindings found

Hello!

I accidentally typed a keycombination - my terminal disappeared.
Was unable to find out, which of my changes have been applied,
but anyway - the keys must be defined somewhere!

Looked in the settings menu, in global keys, in keyboard/appsettings,
in the man file and even in "${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS}/xfce4/terminal/accels.scm"
(mentioned in "man xfce4-terminal") which even does not exist.

Where are the key-bindings to find probably?

Thanks,
Manfred

Have a read through this post for information on how to create an accels.scm file.

Hi!

Thanks, I followed your instructions before you posted them
But came not to the idea, to look for this file then.

Have a read through this post for information on how to create an accels.scm file.

At least, now the the variable "${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS}/xfce4/terminal/accels.scm"
exist and contains the rigth value.

In this file is: "<Primary><Shift>w" - I'll delete it.
But where is the declaration of "Primary"?
I feel often, the docs are a big black hole!
The window manager, at least, has only "super" as an extra name.
Is there a systematic way to list all keybindings?

Thanks,
Manfred

But where is the declaration of "Primary"?

<Primary> is a GTK thing - a concept that was introduced a while back to support multiple platforms. It maps to the Control Key for X11 and Windows, but also to the Command key on quartz (OSX).

Is there a systematic way to list all keybindings?

Its kind of spread out and not centralized. Thunar (~/.config/Thunar), mousepad (~/.config/Mousepad) and xfce4-terminal (~/.config/xfce4-terminal) have their own accels.scm files and xfwm4 and custom keyboard shortcuts are stored in xfconf:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -lv
