Re: [SOLVED] Ctrl+Alt+T

Set your keyboard shortcuts. No idea if its meant to be a default in gnome3, but as I recall gnome has always had a utility to set/change keyboard shortcuts.

I went to Activities and started typing in "keyboard". Click on the Keyboard icon and when the app' opens there on the Shortcuts tab is "Launch Terminal" which was disabled. I clicked on the disabled area, held down Ctrl + Alt + T. Exit out of there and Ctrl + Alt + T works perfectly to open Gnome Terminal. Admittedly it does only show "Alt + T" in the keyboard application but it works fine and Alt + T does not open the Terminal but Ctrl + Alt + T definitely works on my Gnome 3.

Re: [SOLVED] Ctrl+Alt+T

I've the same problem, can't set CTRL+<key>, SHIFT+<key> or CTRL+SHIFT+<key> combinations, CTRL get always filtered out.
Doing the terminal thing above, only ALT+T does open a terminal for me.

Also, recording shortcuts with function keys produce very odd results, such as:

SHIFT+F5 (or any other F-key)   =>   Shift+VoidSymbol

But if also pressing CTRL, the shortcut produced is:

CTRL+SHIFT+F5 (or any other F-key)   =>   Shift+F5

These shortcuts never work btw, not the key i recorded and not the key gnome seems to record and present you after.
I'm using a Logitech Illuminated Keyboard (italian layout) and gnome has been configured for two layout, en-US and it-IT, to be switched by ALT+CAPSLOCK: i tried everything (leaving one single layout, removing layout switch shortcut... nooone let the shortcuts being recorded correctly and working, only ALT+<key> combinations work).

Anyone with the same behavior?!
Is this the reason due to which i'm not able to get Thunderbird 7 to "get all messages for all accounts" via SHIFT+F5??! Does Gnome capture something for its own magic?!

Re: [SOLVED] Ctrl+Alt+T

An update on my problem for others with the same: i managed to customize my keybindings via gconf-editor.
First, setup the shortcuts you want, then fire up gconf-editor, navigate to /desktop/gnome/keybindings/custom<n> and changes the keys there (<Ctrl>, <Shift> and <Alt>), this way they works fine and also shows up correctly in the keyboard settings (!).

Re: [SOLVED] Ctrl+Alt+T

Just to add more to the odds, it appears that shortcuts belonging to the "Launchers" section will behave differently from those belonging to the "Custom Shortcuts" section when recording shortcuts: for me, recording  CTRL+ALT+T for "Launch Terminal" in the "Launchers" section will label it as an "ALT+T" but the original CTRL+ALT+T shortcut will work.
Creating a custom shortcut in "Custom Shortcuts" for doing the same thing will not work the same: it will still label it "ALT+T" but the original shortcut will not work and only ALT+T will work.

For instance, i can't set a shortcut as "SHIFT+F5" or "ALT+F5" in Eclipse (Window->Preferences->General->Keys) nor i can check Thunderbird7's mail for all my accounts at once (SHIFT+F5) so it seems SHIFT/ALT+fn get masked out for some reason under some circumstances in my setup (but Eclipse will capture an "SHIFT+ALT+F5" correctly as well as any other combination)..

Re: [SOLVED] Ctrl+Alt+T

I tried this patch but it didn't solve the problem for me: however, the latest gnome-control-center did it (3.2.2-1) and now everything seems to work as it should, even capturing keys for shortcuts is working correctly.
Did you update it?

Re: [SOLVED] Ctrl+Alt+T

I'm using KDE...

Anyway, I downgrader xkeyboard-config from 2.4 to 2.2 which solve the problem.
