http://askubuntu.com – I'm on Ubuntu 12.10, and I am having trouble with the Ctrl + Alt + KP_PLUS, and Ctrl + Alt + KP_MINUS buttons. Whenever I press that combination it changes my resolution and it really interrupts my work flow. I have tried looking through Compiz Settings Manager and the Ubuntu shortcut manager, but to no avail. Does anyone know how to remove these shortcuts? Edit: Solved I have found a solution. The shortcut in question actually is a part of the X Server and as such can be disabled in the X config. Remember to use sudo su before trying these commands in a terminal. These keybindings c (HowTos)

I'm a beginner.

I used xbindkeys to create a shortcut to my browser when pressing ctrl+1 a while back. I want to remove this shortcut. When I look in xbindkeys-config now, there are no shortcuts shown, but the shortcut still works!

I don't know how to find the shortcut, let alone remove it!

Thanks for your help.

It was working on Gnome Fallback/Classic. But after compiz-manager package installation, I lost Ctrl + shortcut keys, they don't work anymore.

For example, in web browser typing Ctrl+C on some text makes it gray, and don't get it copied. Deleting compiz-manager and reinstalling gnome didn't solve the problem.

However, on Gnome Shell 3 all works fine.

Please, help me to solve this.

I have 2 bugs in my Ubuntu 12.04 fresh installation using a Macbook Pro keyboard. Note: I swapped the Ctrl and Cmd keys (Ctrl and Super on regular keyboards), but that should not affect the shortcuts I program.)

First

I changed the Switch application shortcut from Alt-Tab to Ctrl-Tab. It saves this correctly but the change does not seem to take effect. I rebooted and it still doesn't.

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.

According to the Gnome-Termianl Usage, I found that ctrl+shift+up/down can scroll up/down a line in the terminal. Now, I want to re-map the shortcut key, just like: alt+j/k to scroll up/down a line, that's the old habit of vimer. :) I tried searching the settings in Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts of Terminal, but found nothing. Can anyone help me?

Hi everybody,

I have a couple of user-defined shortcuts and after the latest update, they do not work anymore. Before I updated the system (F16, KDE), I was able to press ctrl+meta+k to start the terminal, for example. Now this does not work any more and I have no clue why it is like this since the shortcuts are still defined the same way...

Some of my keyboard shortcuts have stopped working - like ctrl-alt-L to lock the screen. I have tried recreating the shortcut via the keyboard settings but no luck. I have tried changing the shortcut to something else but no luck.

Any ideas how to fix this? What config file holds the keyboard shortcut mappings?

Thanks in advance.

Neither of these answered my question:

How do I disable the F10 (application menu) keybinding in Ubuntu 11.10?

How do I deactivate F1 and F10 keybindings?

The instructions in that thread seem to be specific to Gnome or compizconfig-settings-manager. That app looks a bit dangerous so I'm wondering if there's a way to do this without it.

Can't unset window shortcut 33 weeks 4 days ago

I somehow set konsole to activate an open instance using ctrl+shift+t which also happens to be browsers default re-open closed tab shortcut. I want to unset this window shortcut on console but I cannot figure out how to do so.

I've looked through the special window settings, special application settings and could not find anything there.
