I'm on stock Archlinux (xfce4-terminal-0.8.8) but IIRC this issue is chasing me from a loooong time. I have the following text in my `accels.scm`: ``` (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/prev-tab" "<Alt>h") ``` but hitting this keys combination does nothing. The same goes for `<Alt>f` or `<Alt>e` while e.g. `<Alt>u` works as expected. *Disable all menu access key* is selected (and in fact `<Alt>f` does not open the File menu) but it seems that this does not free those shortcuts anyway. The only thing unusual I do is to manage my dotfiles with `homeshick`, hence `accels.scm` and `terminalrc` are symlinks instead of real files. I'm using `<Alt>h` on `lxterminal` (also vte and gtk3 based) just fine, so I'm pretty confident there are no other key conflicts on my system.

Hi Nicola, thanks for the report! I've implemented a different way of disabling the menu mnemonics which seems to fix the problem.
