As I wanted to try Ratpoison and other mouseless window manager, I used this .xinitrc
There's a keyboard remapping in there and i'm afraid (but not sure it's this...) it messed up my keyboard settings.
Since, I've deleted this file, however, my alt-tab shortcut hasnt been working anymore.
In the keyboard shortcuts section, the "switch application" shortcut IS assigned to alt+tab.

Is there a way in Xubuntu to launch/open a folder via a keyboard shortcut? How about opening a website that way?
Ive used the keyboard settings to create keyboard shortcuts to applications I use frequently but would love to do the same with other such things but do not see how to do so in keyboard settings.
If it makes any difference, Im using a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse.
I've set the keyboard shortcut super+L to lock my screen. Several times I've tried to lock the screen and it just pulls up the super menu. When I go back and check the keyboard shortcut it is still set and listed as super+L. Resetting the shortcut to super+L restores functionality for a time. I can't tell what's triggering the failure. Any input would be appreciated!
I have Ctrl+Alt+T assigned as my keyboard shortcut to launch a Terminal window, but it stopped working after upgrading to 12.10.

In short: is there (under Unity) any way to find out which application grabbed some global shortcut? I do not ask for "standard shortcuts" but for some way to get information about actual shortcuts (which app is actually keeping given key just now in my current config)
Longer story:
I have repeatable problems with managing keyboard shortcuts.
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.
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'm using 12.04 64bit on a Dell Latitude E6410. I want to create a custom keyboard shortcut.
Now I found out some articles that says you can create a custom keyboard shortcut using the Super key. But I can't create any custom shortcut. The status is showing as "disabled". Ideally it should show "accelerated" and then wait for my keyboard combination.
My laptop keyboard does not have media shortcut keys (e.g. "Next Track", etc). I frequently use the laptop connected to an external keyboard, which does. I go to Settings->Keyboard->Shortcuts tab, and select "Sound and Media", and I see that "Next Track" is bound to the shortcut key "audio next".
