http://askubuntu.com – When I need to open a terminal I press CTRL+ALT+T to save time. Most of the time absolutely nothing happens, I try to press same combination again, and still nothing happens. After like 5-8 tries terminal window finally appears. Sometimes terminal opens on a first try. This is a very annoying situation. I also noted that open rate increases when I click on random spot on my desktop when all windows are hidden. Also, when terminal finally is open, next CTRL+ALT+T combinations open new terminal window immediately. There are no loadings when combination does not work, which means terminal wil (HowTos)

Steps to reproduce:

have zsh as default shell open a new terminal. for example, with Ctrl+Alt+t press Ctrl+Shift+t to open a new terminal tab "^T%" appears as the first line

I'm running ubuntu 11.10 with lxde and zsh-4.3.11

gnome-terminal doesn't have this problem

I followed the instructions from enzotib's answer on Making Ctrl+C copy text in gnome-terminal? to make the ctrl-c and ctrl-v keys act consistent in the terminal and then re-assign ctrl-j to be the cancel/interrupt key for ongoing processes.

The instructions works great...until I close the terminal. Next time I open the ctrl-j has to be re-assigned.

hi guys, first sorry for my english

I'm a newbie about Linux, i've just installed fedora 18.

I have Ctrl+Alt+T assigned as my keyboard shortcut to launch a Terminal window, but it stopped working after upgrading to 12.10.

I have verified that it is still set in the Keyboard Shortcuts settings menu, and have verified that other shortcuts (e.g.

Hitting Ctrl-Shift-N when an existing terminal window has focus opens a new terminal window with the same working directory as the old terminal window. How can I prevent this?

System: I have XUbuntu 12.04 64bit and run Terminal 0.4.8 (Xfce Terminal Emulator).

Problem: My Terminal always stops to accept any input after I close a program window started from the Terminal.

Details: For example, I start leafpad, (or geany, tkdiff etc) from the terminal. I close the window after finishing my job by either clicking on the close button or using ctrl-w.

I like the terminal, it's handy to have open but this happens eveytime:

open terminal type something in it switch to another program dammit terminal is closed

:-/ This happens even if I just type something in the command line and leave it there, or if I open a program through the command line or if I'm just looking through my folders...

edit Sorry this is the true chain of events:

List it

So I was upgrading Ubuntu from 11.10 to 12.04 in the terminal after recovering my system from a previous crash, and then I go through a power outage during the second time trying to update. NOW, my screen is white, only the time shows up in the top right corner, no icons show up, no apps show up, AND terminal is NOT opening.
