How to make editable accelerators in xfce terminal?

Question

I know there was a question on how to edit shortcuts for tab in xfce terminal: Is there a shortcut (missing?) to move tab in xfce4 terminal app?, but I did what said (that is - enable editable accelerators in appearance settings), and still cannot change shortcuts in the menubar. My purpose is to change shortcut for 1) open tab, which is <shift><ctrl>t to <ctrl>t and 2) close tab, which is <shift><ctrk>w to <ctrl>t (basically getting rid of the <ctrl> key of them). I have tried to hover over them, pressed delete, and then typed those keys, to set the shortcuts, but nothing had happened. So is there a possibility to change defaul xfce terminal shortcuts for my purpose mentioned above?

Answer 1

I wasn't able to change the shortcuts using the "editable accelerators" and according to this post in the XFCE forum this only works for GTK2 applications.

You can change the defaults in ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/accels.scm (just like in your previous question How to switch from interrupt to copy, and to in xfc4-terminal?).

To get rid of the Shift key when you open or close a tab, change

; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/close-tab" "<Primary><Shift>w")

and

; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/new-tab" "<Primary><Shift>t")

to

; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/close-tab" "<Primary><Shift>w")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/close-tab" "<Primary>w")

and

; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/new-tab" "<Primary><Shift>t")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/new-tab" "<Primary>t")
