Describe the bug

A character ("A", "B", "C" or "D") is entered in the terminal command when using a shortcut to change the focused terminal. Using Ubuntu 22.04.

Expected behavior

  1. The terminal focused is changed
  2. Nothing happens on the original (source) terminal

Actual behavior

  1. The original (source) terminal shows a letter:
  • A for above
  • B for bellow
  • C for right
  • D for left

To Reproduce

  1. Assign "ALT + Up" / "Alt + Down" / "Alt + Left" / "Alt + Right" keyboard shortcuts to the "Focus terminal ..." shortcuts
  2. Use these shortcuts

I am not sure about this, but I believe that this behavior is very similar to the behavior for my system except that there might actually be more indicators such as ^[A, ^[B, ^[C, or ^[D. However, I believe that these are not intended to be treated as letters. Are you sure that the only characters that appear are the letters?

I see your posted guake version is 3.8.5. Your issue described seems related to keyboard shortcuts, which recent versions have made some amount of changes to. Have you tried this on a newer version?
