How to modify xfce4-terminal shortcuts through terminalrc or xml file

loupe · 2025-12-25 20:37:32

How can I modify the shortcuts using terminalrc or xml file? I changed some of them but don't see a difference in those files. Usually that's my goto method to see how to edit it myself.

Specifically, I want to disable the scroll shortcuts.

Thanks but unfortunately it doesn't work. I've looked at xfconf, also diffed terminalrc and xfce4-terminal.xml before and after changing shortcuts but there's no difference. Where are they saved?

It's the two options I've removed manually here, Scroll one line Up/Down that I need to disable using a configuration file.

This is important to me, how do I configure shortcuts in Xfce apps through a configuration file or xfconf? When I change it through the GUI I don't see any difference in the files in ~/.confg/xfce4 related to xfce4-terminal.

Shortcuts are saved to ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/accels.scm. Changes are not saved immediately, it takes a few seconds for the app to write to that file.

I'd like to have similar one too;
how to have shortcut key to perform :

Restore the minimized window

Aka: to bring window to the front and in focus

That'd be very great if a user could have that one.. please

Is this related to xfce4-terminal or windows in general? If the latter, it belongs in a thread of its own.
