[Bug 1179543] Re: Unable to remap keyboard shortcut for F1

 

As part of the big bug review for 16.04 LTS I have tested this on 15.10
and the bug is still there. The system settings happily accept F1 as a
proper binding and it worked as expected.

Title:
  Unable to remap keyboard shortcut for F1

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I am unable to remap the F1 keyboard shortcut on Ubuntu 13.04 using
  the Unity interface.  This is what I have tried:

  System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Navigation -> Switch to
  workspace 1 -> click on keyboard binding

  When I try to define a new accelerator using the 'F1' key (which on my
  keyboard happens to alos have the 'Help' function on it), it spawns
  the Ubuntu Desktop Guide and nothing gets registered as a keyboard
  mapping. I can't find a way of defining the 'F1 (help)' key as an
  accelerator.

  Any workarounds?
