http://askubuntu.com – 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. Alt-Tab stays working and Ctrl-Tab does nothing. I know Ctrl-Tab is used by the Chromium browser, but outside the browser the shortcut isn't working either. Can anyone confirm this? I changed another shortcut i (HowTos)

First of all sorry if this question was already asked but mine IS NOT how to add a shortcut for switching keyboard layout

I often switch from French to US keyboard and the usual key shortcut for application keep on being as if it was french.

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.

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.

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.

Ok, I realise that I risk a religious war asking a question about text editors, but here goes.

Requirements

Mostly used for config file edits Text based not GUI Available for Raspian flavour of Debian No learning required for a Windows/Mac GUI user (no vi/vim) Makes full use of keys found on modern keyboards, i.e.

I'm trying to change the shortcut for switching applications from Alt+Tab to Ctrl+Tab, but changes in the System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Navigation are being ignored. Even if I disable the Switch applications shortcut entirely, it still maps to Alt+Tab. At one point I had some keys remapped with xmodmap, but since then I have deleted that configuration and rebooted.

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 am running a ubuntu 12.04 64 bit system with cinnamon 1.6.

Some keyboard shortcuts such as ctrl+a for select all and ctrl+w for close tab do not seem to work in text editors and text fields.

On pressing ctrl+a the cursor just moves to the 1st character of the text field. however ctrl+a does work elsewhere like in nautilus, firefox (non text fields).

I'm running LinuxMint12 with Gnome with Cario-Dock and I have a logitech G15 keyboard. I setup a bash script with the extra keys to take the active window, resize it and move it to a specific location on one of my screens. But after a few days of usage when I restarted my computer the CTRL+F shortcut stopped working in applications like FireFox, chrome, or any other program I try.
