Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Note: Keybinds listed are my own, I believe they're the defaults but I can't remember for sure.

  1. Open Terminal
  2. Enter fullscreen mode (Alt+Enter)
  3. Open the Settings menu (Ctrl+,)
  4. Attempt to leave the Settings menu via:
    • Ctrl+W (Close Tab keybind)
    • The 'Save' button
    • The 'Discard changes' button
    • Alt+Enter
    • Esc
  5. Note that none of the above work and you are seemingly stuck

Expected Behavior

There should be some obvious way of exiting the Settings menu, whether it's a GUI button, the user's chosen Close Tab key, or otherwise.

Actual Behavior

There is no readily apparent way to leave the fullscreen Settings menu.

Here is a short video of me trying to do so: https://youtu.be/XFII1thF1Xc

Eventually I tried Ctrl+Tab and found out that this keybind works to change tabs while stuck this way. I could then get out of fullscreen mode while in a regular terminal tab, and then close the Settings tab.

The Close Pane keybind Ctrl+Shift+W also seems to work, but it's not obvious that the Settings menu is a Pane and not a Tab.
