Bug Description

When I'm trying to change the default keybindings for "Switch to the next tab" and "Switch to previous tab" (next_tab and prev_tab), new bindings don't work. When I open "Preferences" dialog again, it says that keybindings for this actions are "Disabled". Restoring default values doesn't help either, they're still "Disabled". In the config file I have corresponding records:

[global_config]
[keybindings]
  next_tab = <Primary>Page_Down
  prev_tab = <Primary>Page_Up

It happens to other keybindings as well, like split_horiz and split_vert, even if the modified keybinding is stored in Terminator's config file.

~/.config/terminator$ cat config
[global_config]
  enabled_plugins = InactivityWatch, ActivityWatch, TerminalShot, LaunchpadCodeURLHandler, APTURLHandler, LaunchpadBugURLHandler
  sticky = True
[keybindings]
  split_horiz = <Primary><Shift>h
  split_vert = <Primary><Shift>j

I still get "disabled" for these keybindings (and ctrl+shift+h doesn't split my terminal horizontally)

This is because on your system "Control" is being described as "Primary". I believe this is fixed in trunk - are you able to test that?

bzr branch lp:terminator
cd terminator
./terminator --no-dbus
