[xubuntu] keyboard shortcuts almost all not working

http://ubuntuforums.org – 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. Ctrl+Alt+Del & Ctrl+Esc), and changing/adding shortcuts in settings doesn't work, though if I run the relevant commands in a terminal it works. Why is this? Not sure if it's related, but the new install didn't automatically run xfwm4, though a single manual run seems to have fixed this. Thanks. (Hardware)

Anyone in here using Clementine in xubuntu.

IF so - are your keyboard shortcuts working - mine failed recently, the standard MediaPlay for instance doesn't work anymore - replacing with Ctrl+C works though.

However changing the Back to something appears to just clear the playlist completely.

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.

Keyboard Shortcuts in XMind 27 weeks 17 hours ago

XMind offers many keyboard shortcuts. Working with shortcuts can really save the time and free your mind to find where is the mouse. So knowing them well will bring you great convenience.

Hi,

Xfce's Keyboard Properties doesn't recognize all the buttons on my keyboard. Thus, to set all keys I edit shortcuts manually. Unfortunately, the only way I know of refreshing the shortcuts once I'm done is to restart Xfce.

Hi,

It seems many shortcuts does not work even though I set them in Control Panel -> Keyboard Shortcuts.

For example, I have tried shortcuts for Toggle Window Maximized vertically as Ctrl + Alt + Up and Mod4 + Up and Alt + F3, but nether worked.

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.

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.

Cheers

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'm on my Ubuntu 12.04. Every time I'm editing a text, i'm using ctrl + left/right arrow keys to move/jump between words. Recently, I installed xscreensaver and changed keyboard shortcuts to activate my screensaver. But then, Ctrl + left key stop responding to what it must do (move to the next word to the left). Ctrl + right key still jumps to next word to the right.
