I am trying to configure the Termite Terminal to my liking; however, it seems that I cannot get the terminal to beep on a bell (\a) character.
Here is my ~/.config/termite/config file:
[options]
allow_bold = true
audible_bell = true
bold_is_bright = true
cell_height_scale = 1.0
cell_width_scale = 1.0
clickable_url = true
hyperlinks = true
dynamic_title = true
font = Hermit 13
fullscreen = true
icon_name = terminal
mouse_autohide = true
scroll_on_output = false
scroll_on_keystroke = true
scrollback_lines = 10000
search_wrap = false
urgent_on_bell = true
browser = firefox
scrollbar = off
# ... trimmed the colors portion ...
The XDG_CONFIG_HOME envvar is not set, and the only other configuration file that I have on my system for Termite is the one located at $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/termite/config; however, it's not even used, since my above config takes precedence.
In urxvt, which I also have installed on my system, executing echo -ne '\a' makes a bell sound, since I have configured this terminal with the Bell-command Perl extension. However, neither in Termite nor in the Xfce Terminal does this command does not trigger a bell sound.
I have confirmed that I am able to play sounds from Termite (e.g. paplay /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg works as expected), but for some reason echo -ne '\a' makes no sound.
How can I enable audible bell in Termite?
P.S. I don't know if it matters, but I am running all this on Manjaro with the Xfce4 desktop environment.
