Reopening this issue. In 13.04, disabling menu access keys from Keyboard Shortcuts does not resolve this issue.

Great! That drove me crazy until I found the option. I guess was looking under Preferences, not Keyboard Shortcuts. It sure could be easier to find. But I guess I'm not going to make an argument to upstream, 'cause I don't have a clear idea what would be best.

[Bug 968688] Re: Inability to use the Meta key in gnome-terminal (probably related to invoking the HUD?)
I don't think there's an Ubuntu bug here. You could take it up as a Gnome design debate; I wouldn't be surprised if that's been hashed over a few times. gnome-terminal's default behavior is to steal the Alt key, for menu accelerators. Users like us who want to use the full readline bindings have to go to Edit-Keyboard Shortcuts, and uncheck 'Enable Menu Access Keys'. As for your comment about the HUD, that's not how the HUD uses Alt; perhaps you've seen this, in the interim. It's activated by a short tap of the Alt key alone. Any use of Alt as a modifier for another key is meant to be unaffected. (Right now in Quantal, the HUD is being triggered by one of those situations, though the keybinding still succeeds. That's bug 969039, HUD appears when tapping Alt+Left very quickly. Any interference like that will be treated as a bug.

(Launchpad let me change the status of the bug, but it's having a problem when I try to change the assignment to gnome-terminal,right now.) I could add, if you couldn't find this preference, you could talk to upstream Gnome about how you might have discovered it more readily.

I found that as a workaround you can disable menu access keys from Keyboard Shortcuts in Edit menu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/968688 Title: Inability to use the Meta key in gnome-terminal (probably related to invoking the HUD?)
