Keyboard shortcut for Terminal doesn't work since updating to 12.10

http://askubuntu.com – 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. Ctrl+Alt+C to open calculator) work. I have also tried using assigning different key combinations to Terminal, to see if that helps (it doesn't), e.g. unassigning Ctrl+Alt+C from calculator, and instead assigning it to Terminal. No dice. Any ideas what might be going on? (HowTos)

Stories similar to Keyboard shortcut for Terminal doesn't work since updating to 12.10

I've recently started using a Mac (running Lion), and there is one inconsistency that's getting to me. In Chrome and MVim, I can switch tabs with Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown. But, in the Terminal, I have to use Cmd+Shift+Left/Right.

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.

In Fedora 17, how do I setup the following two things which are related to using the terminal?

1. I'd like to get the right click the desktop, then click terminal to start a terminal. This used to be nautilus-open-terminal, but I installed that and it didn't seem to work.

2. How do I setup a keyboard shortcut for launching a terminal?

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.

Have just completed a new install of xubuntu 12.04.

I had kubuntu but have now install xubuntu on the / and left /home partition intact.

I prefer to use keyboard shortcuts where possible. Strangly a few of them are working (eg. Alt+F2 & Alt+F10) but others are not (eg.

Is there any reason why the keyboard shortcuts listed in the system settings don't work? For example, the system settings lists Ctrl-Alt-T to get up a terminal window, but it doesn't work. And none of the others seem to either.

How can I reset the ubuntu 12.04 terminal keyboard shortcut? I changed a few month ago the shortcut Ctrl + C and I need it now?

I use the terminal several times, and I lose a lot of time going in Applications / Utilities / Terminal, so was wondering if I can run it using keyboard shortcuts.I'm using Gnome 2. I wanna do something like Ctrl + T

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?
