Description joseph.axel 2019-03-27 13:48:56 UTC

SUMMARY

When I switch to another profile using a keyboard shortcut, a new tab with this profile is open, which is not the same behavior than the mouse option, which changes the profile in the current tab WITHOUT opening a new tab

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Bind a shortcut keyboard to a profile
2. Use this shortcut in a terminal


OBSERVED RESULT
 A new tab is opened with the chosen profile, and another tab stays with the ancient profile.

EXPECTED RESULT
The current tab switches profile (like the mouse option)

Please revert this 'bug fix'. 
There a two profile related uses: 'New Tab' from the file menu and 'Switch Profile' from the context menu. I think the shortcuts should be used for 'New Tab' because it's much more useful as it respects the command, which is part of a profile.  'Switch Profile' doesn't, I don't think it is a much used option.
Personally I use(d) profiles to quickly open ssh connections to different hosts with shortcuts, which has now become very cumbersome.
Thank you!

Please file a new bug for that request. Thanks!

FWIW you can quickly create a new tab by clicking and holding the new tab button in the tab bar and selecting your preferred profile.

Did another bug get opened? Because this "fix" has crippled my workflow. In fact, it is a bug - now when I use the keyboard shortcut, it simply changes the colors in the window, but *does not run the command in the profile*. That is a bug. Please revert.

The bug report to fix the (IMHO) regression introduced with this bugfix is
