My 2 cents: Shift+PageUp, Shift+PageDown have historically been the shortcuts for scrolling, hence application don't expect these keypresses to get delivered.
Shift+Up, Shift+Down, however, generate escape sequences that are useful for applications (e.g. select text in editor), it would be bad if these key combos were handled by the terminal itself. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301291 Title: incoherent keyboard binding Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Currently the following keyboard bindings are active by default Shift+PgUp: Scroll up one screen Shift+Ctrl+ArrowUp: Scroll up one line (learned this in question 32554) Similar for PgDown and ArrowDown. This is obviously incoherent. I suggest to make it Shift+$actionkey and drop the Shift+Ctrl+$actionkey in all cases.
