http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi, Im a noob coming from window just ironing out the last things with ubuntu. I am using launchy which I loved in windows but it has a little problem, on startup it tells me that the hotkey (namely Alt+Space) is already in use. I have changed and now deleted Alt+Space from the ubuntu keyboard shortcuts but it keeps prompting me every startup and then tries to get me to select a new hotkey for launhcy, I then select the same hotkey (Alt+Space in the launchy menu that comes up) and it usually works anyway. Sometimes however I find that ubuntu has restored the default shortcut such that Alt+ (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] Launchy Hotkey in use

Each time, if I want to use terminal, I press super key, typing terminal in search box, and enter to select terminal icon.

How can I have hotkey to open terminal. (I'm not say hotkey : control + alt + Fn because it will open a full-console, not what I want). I just want a terminal windows.

I have searched in keyboard shortcut, but I don't see option to select hotkey for this purpose.

I currently have the latest Ubuntu 12.10 installed on my laptop. Usually I use Launchy application to have a quick access to any app/config/file etc. Now I'm trying to get used to Dash, which is supposed to be default way to do such things in recent Ubuntu versions.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 and I'm trying to set a hotkey 'alt-a', but the 'alt' key highlights the menu bar and so when I press 'a' it goes back to 'All Settings' and doesn't set the hotkey. How can I set alt-a as a hotkey?

I use alt+space shortcut for Synapse.

I have reassigned the Activate Windows Menu from alt+space but cannot still receive an error Failed to register hotkey 'activate' with signature 'space'

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'm using 12.04, WIN+1 is a hotkey in Unity, and now I've removed unity and changed shell to gnome-shell-3.4, but I still cannot use WIN+NUM as an hotkey change to desktop NUM, I set it in system settings but nothing happens.

thks for any help.

I need to set a hotkey so that when I press Ctrl+F5 then F5 is registered. I will be doing this for all 12 function keys (Ctrl+1 for F1, Ctrl+2 for F2, and so on). Does anybody know how to do this with xev, an .sh file, the built in shortcut settings, anything? Thank you for the help!

Ubuntu...

So I started playing with my hotkeys today, and much to my dismay, I seem to have irreversibly set the delete hotkey. This is extremely annoying now because instead of deleting the selected text, it executes the command that I put in. The problem is that that specific command is not listed under system>preferences>keyboard shortcuts.
