shortcuts in xfce-terminal

Good afternoon,

I am trying to bind Win key (Super_L) as paste shortcut in xfce-terminal but it doesn't work.  By editing accels.scm in ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/ i found out that terminal understands Win key as "Super_L" and <Super> if key is followed by something (for instance <Super>v - like activate shortcut Win + V. And it works fine). Anyone can give me a hand?

At terminal shows everything fine but still not work.

As well  is it possible to bind right mouse click as Paste shortcut ?

I recommend that the terminal be rxvt-unicode, which is well documented here: https://debian-facile.org/doc:autres:urxvt

Did you know you can paste selections with middle mouse click? You don't even have to copy/cut, just select some text and paste it with middle click (or left+right click if you don't have a middle mouse button).

Re: shortcuts in xfce-terminal

i found out a while back that Super_L is a "modifier" key, like Alt_L an Alt_R and a few others.  maybe xfce4-terminal is treating it like that, too.  it should get the ups and downs of every key, but how it handles that, i don't know.  i get nothing when i press mine.  there is no ASCII code for it, but i don't think there needs to be.  xev shows it, so my keyboard shortcut settings are not messing it up for me.

 KeyPress event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x6400001,
    root 0x158, subw 0x0, time 335331432, (167,-15), root:(1038,459),
    state 0x10, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x6400001,
    root 0x158, subw 0x0, time 335331614, (167,-15), root:(1038,459),
    state 0x50, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,

You can use xcape to make the Super key work like a regular key. See https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=12307 for more details
