Table 8.2. gnome-terminal keys

Key | Type | Default | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/global/profile_list | list | [Default] | List of profiles known to gnome-terminal. The list contains strings naming subdirectories relative to /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/global/default_profile | string | Default | Profile to be used when opening a new window or tab. Must be in profile_list.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/global/use_mnemonics | bool | true | Whether to have Alt+letter access keys for the menubar. They may interfere with some applications run inside the terminal so it's possible to turn them off.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/global/use_menu_accelerators | bool | true | Normally you can access the menubar with F10. This can also be customized via gtkrc (gtk-menu-bar-accel = "whatever"). This option allows the standard menubar accelerator to be disabled.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/global/active_encodings | list |  | A subset of possible encodings are presented in the Encoding submenu. This is a list of encodings to appear there. The special encoding name "current" means to display the encoding of the current locale.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/global/confirm_window_close | bool | true | Whether to ask for confirmation when closing a terminal window which has more than one open tab.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/visible_name | string |  | Human-readable name of the profile.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/cursor_blink | bool | true | True if the cursor should blink when the terminal has focus, for windows/tabs with this profile.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/default_show_menubar | bool | true | True if the menubar should be shown in new windows, for windows/tabs with this profile.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/foreground_color | string | #000000 | Default color of text in the terminal, as a color specification (can be HTML-style hex digits, or a color name such as "red").
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/background_color | string | #FFFFDD | Default color of terminal background, as a color specification (can be HTML-style hex digits, or a color name such as "red").
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/title_mode | string | replace | If the application in the terminal sets the title (most typically people have their shell set up to do this), the dynamically-set title can erase the configured title, go before it, go after it, or replace it. The possible values are "replace", "before", "after", and "ignore".
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/title | string |  | Title to display for the terminal window or tab. This title may be replaced by or combined with the title set by the application inside the terminal, depending on the title_mode setting.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/allow_bold | bool | true | If true, allow applications in the terminal to make text boldface.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/silent_bell | bool | false | If true, don't make a noise when applications send the escape sequence for the terminal bell.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/word_chars | string | -A-Za-z0-9,./?%&#:_ | When selecting text by word, sequences of these characters are considered single words. Ranges can be given as "A-Z". Literal hyphen (not expressing a range) should be the first character given.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/scrollbar_position | string | right | Where to put the terminal scrollbar. Possibilities are "left", "right", and "disabled".
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/scrollback_lines | int | 500 | Number of scrollback lines to keep around. You can scroll back in the terminal by this number of lines; lines that don't fit in the scrollback are discarded. Be careful with this setting; it's the primary factor in determining how much memory the terminal will use.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/scroll_on_keystroke | bool | true | If true, pressing a key jumps the scrollbar to the bottom.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/scroll_on_output | bool | false | If true, whenever there's new output the terminal will scroll to the bottom.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/exit_action | string | close | Possible values are "close" to close the terminal, and "restart" to restart the command.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/login_shell | bool | false | If true, the command inside the terminal will be launched as a login shell. (argv[0] will have a hyphen in front of it.)
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/update_records | bool | true | If true, the system login records utmp and wtmp will be updated when the command inside the terminal is launched.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/use_custom_command | bool | false | If true, the value of the custom_command setting will be used in place of running a shell.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/custom_command | string |  | Run this command in place of the shell, if use_custom_command is true.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/icon | string | gnome-terminal.png | Icon to use for tabs/windows containing this profile.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/palette | string | #000000:#AA0000:#00AA00:#AA5500:#0000AA:#AA00AA:#00AAAA:#AAAAAA:#555555:#FF5555:#55FF55:#FFFF55:#5555FF:#FF55FF:#55FFFF:#FFFFFF | Terminals have a 16-color palette that applications inside the terminal can use. This is that palette, in the form of a colon-separated list of color names. Color names should be in hex format e.g. "#FF00FF"
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/x_font | string | -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--*-120-*-*-c-*-*-* | An X font name. See the X man page (type "man X") for more details on the format of X font names.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/font | string | monospace 12 | An Pango font name. Examples are "Sans 12" or "Monospace Bold 14".
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/background_type | string | solid | Type of terminal background. May be "solid" for a solid color, "image" for an image, or "transparent" for pseudo-transparency.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/background_image | string |  | Filename of a background image.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/scroll_background | bool | true | If true, scroll the background image with the foreground text; if false, keep the image in a fixed position and scroll the text above it.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/background_darkness | float | 0.5 | A value between 0.0 and 1.0 indicating how much to darken the background image. 0.0 means no darkness, 1.0 means fully dark. In the current implementation, there are only two levels of darkness possible, so the setting behaves as a boolean, where 0.0 disables the darkening effect.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/backspace_binding | string | ascii-del | Sets what code the backspace key generates. Possible values are "ascii-del" for the ASCII DEL character, "control-h" for Control-H (AKA the ASCII BS character), "escape-sequence" for the escape sequence typically bound to backspace or delete. "ascii-del" is normally considered the correct setting for the Backspace key.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/delete_binding | string | escape-sequence | Sets what code the delete key generates. Possible values are "ascii-del" for the ASCII DEL character, "control-h" for Control-H (AKA the ASCII BS character), "escape-sequence" for the escape sequence typically bound to backspace or delete. "escape-sequence" is normally considered the correct setting for the Delete key.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/use_theme_colors | bool | true | If true, the theme color scheme used for text entry boxes will be used for the terminal, instead of colors provided by the user.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/no_aa_without_render | bool | true | If true, font anti-aliasing will be disabled when running without the X RENDER extension, which gives a considerable performance improvement in these situations.
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/use_system_font | bool | true | If true, the terminal will use the desktop-global standard font if it's monospace (and the most similar font it can come up with otherwise).
/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/use_skey | bool | true | Popup a dialog when an S/Key challenge response query is detected and clicked on. Typing a password into the dialog will send it to the terminal.
