[Solved] No more custom keyboard shortcuts in terminal?

I'm a former xfce user, and the terminal emulator stuck with me. I'm using openbox on Arch, and just upgraded terminal to 0.6.1. Suddenly, my keyboard shortcuts are reverted back to defaults and I can't find where to change them. I'm thinking this commit has something to do with it.

Are custom keyboard shortcuts really removed?
If so, why?
Is there another way to accomplish what I want?

Hello,

Read this http://docs.xfce.org/faq to add keyboard shortcuts using GTK+ accelerators.

That is amazing but it's so not discoverable it hurts!

i think you can define  shortcuts by modifying this file

$HOME/.config/xfce4/terminal/accels.scm

; xfce4-terminal GtkAccelMap rc-file         -*- scheme -*-
; this file is an automated accelerator map dump
;
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/goto-tab-4" "")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/goto-tab-3" "")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/goto-tab-2" "")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/file-menu" "")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/search" "")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/next-tab" "<Alt>2")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/goto-tab-1" "")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/show-menubar" "")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/terminal-menu" "")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/close-window" "<Primary><Shift>q")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/goto-tab-21" "")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/input-methods" "")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/goto-tab-20" "")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/close-tab" "<Primary><Shift>w")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/new-tab" "<Primary>t")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/view-menu" "")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/show-toolbar" "")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/paste" "<Primary>y")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/copy" "<Alt>w")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/edit-menu" "")
