How to ask Terminator preference menu

gnome-terminator

I'm a big fan of Terminator. By default, the preferences menu is accessible by a right click on the terminal. I just configured Terminator to do a copy paste on right click (similar like Putty).

Unfortunately, that makes the preferences menu is not accessible anymore. What is the solution?

Best Answer

It's the (awkward) shift+middle-click combo that brings up Terminator context menu for me when putty_paste_style = True.

This is in contrast to the docs, both the terminator_config manpage and the online manual, which state middle-click alone will bring up the Context Menu.

$ terminator --version
terminator 1.91

$ cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=18.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=bionic
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS"

The mentioned shift+F10 combo also works, but also stuffs garbage (;2~) onto the command line.
