How can I remap the shortcut keys for scroll down/up in gnome terminal

Question

According the gnome-terminal usage:

You can also scroll up or down one line at a time by pressing Control+Shift+Up or Control+Shift+Down.

In this document shows: Control + Shift + Up / Down can scroll up or scroll down the gnome-terminal one line. And, yes, they can!

Now, I want to re-map these two shortcut keys, like: Alt + J / K (Vimer habit).

My understanding

Here some signal must be triggered after press Ctrl + Alt + Up | Down.

The question is, what signal is triggered?

---

Here are some questions:

• 0x115 is the signal of windows scrolling. what about Linux?
• Can the scrolling be executed by command in gnome-terminal? (Some command inputted and gnome-terminal scrolling up/down)

I've download the source code of Gnome-Terminal, and tried to find the answer. But my C is terrible...

---

By the way, my Linux is Ubuntu 13.10, and gnome-terminal is 3.6:

$ gnome-terminal --version
GNOME Terminal 3.6.1
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 13.10
Release:    13.10
Codename:   saucy

Solution

[OPTIONAL]

I'm a vimer too and I feel uncomfortable with the default Ctrl position so I remapped the Window's Meta to be an additional Ctrl key. NOTE: you'll need xmodmap.

remove Control = Control_L Control_R
remove mod4 = Super_L Super_R
add Control = Control_L Super_L

[STEPS]

To remap Ctrl + J and Ctrl + K in Konsole follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings -> Configure Current Profile -> Input
2. Edit the Linux Console key binding
3. Add a new key binding to scroll down a line at a time: J + Ctrl -> ScrollLineDown
4. Add a new key binding to scroll up a line at a time: K + Ctrl -> ScrollLineUp

NOTE: Now you'll be able to scroll up and scroll down a line at a time using the configured shortcuts.

EDIT #1

Alt does work!! Just change Ctrl with Alt in the bindings.

This shortcut is not the "regular" terminal shortcut. Can you found any settings for scroll one line in Edit -> Preferences -> Shortcuts? No!!! Because I've checked that place long long time ago!

@Marslo - Sorry I think you misunderstood what I said. The screenshot shows that you cannot edit these. I've expanded my A to make that more obvious. The same is also mentioned here: askubuntu.com/questions/247539/…

@Marslo - yes until you asked this Q I would've guessed that this is modifiable. Makes no sense why it wouldn't be. I would take a look in dconf-editor. Things are sometimes doable there when the regular GUIs don't expose it.

[slm]

@Marslo - yes I know, I added them to make that line in the output more obvious. Sorry about that. I thought the line in the screenshot was obvious, but based on your reaction I'm guessing it wasn't 8-)

[Marslo]

Hi @slm, actually, I'm very thanks for your A. I've also checked the dconf-editor, but nothing found. Hope you can surprise me! :)

In windows, I can remap the shortcuts by AutoHotKey. In this way, I needn't modified any settings, just remap alt+j => ctrl+shift+up. And, also I tried xbindkeys, I found this tools needs command, for example, I can remap ctrl+j==>gnome-terminal. That means, terminal would be startup while I press ctrl+j

[slm]

The xmodmap method or xbindkeys are the 2 ways I would go about it outside of gnome-terminal.

Where is the documentation for the list of keywords that ScrollLineDown and ScrollLineUp come from?
