[Bug 1224732] Re: Custom keyboard shortcuts don't work

 

The solution suggested by gazhai (#52) worked for me, too. I have Ubuntu
14.04.2 Classic. The only problem is tat every time I add a keyboard
shortcut I have to logout and login to get it working. Is there an
application that could do the same thing as logout-login?

Bug description:
  Just noticed that adding custom keyboard shortcuts does not have any
  effect. If, for example, I add a custom keyboard shortcut for Evince
  and set it to Ctrl+Alt+E, pressing this key combination won't launch
  Evince.

  * What happens *
    When I add a custom keyboard shortcut (and bind it to some key combination), the shortcut does not run the associated command.

  * What I expect *
    After adding the custom shortcut, I expect that the shortcut launches the associated command.
