Meta key issue when using Emacs terminal on Lubuntu LXQT












0















While pressing Alt key on the keyboard the control is transferred to the terminal menu.



There is an option in ubuntu terminal (Edit -> Preferences) to disable this Enable mnemonics (such as alt + f to open the filename)



I'm running Lubuntu 18.10 (LXQT). There is no option to do this via gui settings. I also tried looking at ~/.config/aterminal.org/qterminal.ini still no option to turn on meta key.



How to disable menu while pressing Alt key?



EDIT: One of the answers referred to a file located at ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml. Instead of lubuntu-rc.xml what I have is lxqt-rc.xml and I'm not able to find an entry for my problem.



Here is my lxqt-rc.xml file (excluding the commented out example part at the bottom)

    Did you have a look onto this askubuntu.com/questions/66347/how-to-unbind-alt-in-lubuntu-lxde

While pressing Alt key on the keyboard the control is transferred to the terminal menu.



There is an option in ubuntu terminal (Edit -> Preferences) to disable this Enable mnemonics (such as alt + f to open the filename)



I'm running Lubuntu 18.10 (LXQT). There is no option to do this via gui settings. I also tried looking at ~/.config/aterminal.org/qterminal.ini still no option to turn on meta key.



How to disable menu while pressing Alt key?



EDIT: One of the answers referred to a file located at ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml. Instead of lubuntu-rc.xml what I have is lxqt-rc.xml and I'm not able to find an entry for my problem.



Here is my lxqt-rc.xml file (excluding the commented out example part at the bottom)

    Did you have a look onto this askubuntu.com/questions/66347/how-to-unbind-alt-in-lubuntu-lxde

While pressing Alt key on the keyboard the control is transferred to the terminal menu.



There is an option in ubuntu terminal (Edit -> Preferences) to disable this Enable mnemonics (such as alt + f to open the filename)



I'm running Lubuntu 18.10 (LXQT). There is no option to do this via gui settings. I also tried looking at ~/.config/aterminal.org/qterminal.ini still no option to turn on meta key.



How to disable menu while pressing Alt key?



EDIT: One of the answers referred to a file located at ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml. Instead of lubuntu-rc.xml what I have is lxqt-rc.xml and I'm not able to find an entry for my problem.



Here is my lxqt-rc.xml file (excluding the commented out example part at the bottom)

While pressing Alt key on the keyboard the control is transferred to the terminal menu.



There is an option in ubuntu terminal (Edit -> Preferences) to disable this Enable mnemonics (such as alt + f to open the filename)



I'm running Lubuntu 18.10 (LXQT). There is no option to do this via gui settings. I also tried looking at ~/.config/aterminal.org/qterminal.ini still no option to turn on meta key.



How to disable menu while pressing Alt key?



EDIT: One of the answers referred to a file located at ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml. Instead of lubuntu-rc.xml what I have is lxqt-rc.xml and I'm not able to find an entry for my problem.



Here is my lxqt-rc.xml file (excluding the commented out example part at the bottom)

The settings for those are found in the xml file



~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml


It is created at the time of your first login

  • Instead of the lubuntu-rc.xml what I have is lxqt-rc.xml which I've added to the question. Please check it out.

This is more of a workaround which works for me. Hopefully someone finds it useful.



I installed gnome-terminal since it doesn't have the meta-key problem.



After installing I edited the qterminal.desktop file located at /usr/share/applications directory, changed the line Exec= line to point to gnome-terminal.



Now whenever I open terminal gnome-terminal comes up and I open emacs inside it using emacst which is an alias that runs emacs --nw.

    The settings for those are found in the xml file



    ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml


    It is created at the time of your first login

    • Instead of the lubuntu-rc.xml what I have is lxqt-rc.xml which I've added to the question. Please check it out.

    This is more of a workaround which works for me. Hopefully someone finds it useful.



    I installed gnome-terminal since it doesn't have the meta-key problem.



    After installing I edited the qterminal.desktop file located at /usr/share/applications directory, changed the line Exec= line to point to gnome-terminal.



    Now whenever I open terminal gnome-terminal comes up and I open emacs inside it using emacst which is an alias that runs emacs --nw.
