[SOLVED] Disable Shift+Home & Shift+End Keybindings In Terminal

blueray · 07-28-2020, 01:15 AM

I am using Linux Mint 20 Ulyana. Desktop Environment is Cinnamon 4.6.6.

Terminal emulator is, GNOME Terminal, 3.36.1.1

In terminal Shift+Home takes me to the top of the terminal.
Shift+End takes me to the bottom of the terminal.

How can I disable these keybindings.

although it is a bit old, but this is the way: https://unix.stackexchange.com/quest...gnome-terminal

I actually disabled all keyboard shortcut from the terminal.

Edit > Preferences > Shortcut > Unchecked "Enable shortcuts".

The behaviour is still there.

I am trying to use

Code:

bindkey '^[1;2H' _shift-home-key
bindkey '^[1;2F' _shift-end-key

But this is not working probably because of the "top of the terminal, end of the terminal" thing.

I also found https://superuser.com/questions/5825...l-ubuntu-12-04

But the instructions are old and sort of risky for me.

Why?
This is a keyboard shortcut that works in all terminals, even the non-gui tty console. If you want to completely change or disable it, that's where you need to search. I just did, for about 5min, and don't have an answer.
Other searches suggest that this is not possible with gnome-terminal, so if you want to override it you might need to start using a different terminal.

(probably) you need bind shift-home and shift-end to something different (to see if that work).
Or probably you need to unbind both.
Either in the config of Gnome-Terminal or the terminal settings (https://unix.stackexchange.com/quest...-linux-console).

Thank you very much for directing me to xmodmap and loadkeys. Let me try those out.
