Openbox - Cannot launch a terminal

I just installed arch linux openbox on a newish laptop I got. I have everything installed, but I can't start my terminal (terminator). Obviously I can't do anything until I get that thing to launch, so does anyone know the shortcut command for it? I tried SUPERKEY + T but that didn't work... Or did I miss something important when installing openbox...  I hope not.

Re: Openbox - Cannot launch a terminal

Check your keybindings. You can either use xbindkeys or Openbox's key bindings in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml.

Education is favorable to liberty. Freedom can exist only in a society of knowledge. Without learning, men are incapable of knowing their rights, and where learning is confined to a few people, liberty can be neither equal nor universal.
