Title:
Copy and paste keyboard shortcuts on right click menu do not work
Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Copy and Paste with the C and P keys on the right click menu does not
work in GNOME Terminal 3.18.3 (included with Ubuntu 16.04). The
ability to copy and paste this way used to work in the version of
GNOME Terminal included with Ubuntu 14.04 (3.6.2, I think?), so this
is a regression from that version.
The keys for the other menu options (Open Terminal (T), Profiles (R),
Read-Only (O), Show Menubar (M)) can be restored by going into
preferences and activating the checkbox for "Enable mnemonics (such as
Alt+F to open the File menu)" -- however, copy and paste are not
included.
I frequently paste using the menu key (menu key, P), so this is a very
annoying bug that I run into every day now that I've upgraded from
14.04.
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release: 16.04
$ apt-cache policy gnome-terminal
gnome-terminal:
Installed: 3.18.3-1ubuntu1
Candidate: 3.18.3-1ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 3.18.3-1ubuntu1 500
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Expect to happen:
Pressing P when the right-click context menu is open should paste from
the clipboard. Pressing C when the menu is open should copy selected
text to the clipboard.
What happened instead:
No response when pressing the keys. No underline for an alternate key
is shown either. Presumably the shortcuts ("mnemonics"?) for these
entries are missing in the code.
