Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
I went to Edit->Keyboard Shortcuts in gnome-terminal to configure alternate keyboard shortcuts using Alt instead of Ctrl, but not all shortcuts work. The shortcut editor allows me to configure the shortcut and the new shortcut appears in the menus, but shortcuts for alt+t (new tab) and alt+v (paste), do not work. The other custom-configured shortcuts do work - alt+n (new window), alt+w (close tab), alt+c (copy), and alt+q (close window) do work as expected.

This is unsurprising given the ALT key is used to bring the menus up. So ALT+T brings up the 'Terminal' menu, and ALT+V brings up the 'view' menu. So in effect you have ALT+T assigned to two things. Perhaps gnome-terminal should realise this and either refuse to let you make the configuration change, or use a different key to bring up the menus.
