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

 

I have had a bit of success.

Everything is working again.

I did 3 things:

1. Removed all custom keybindings in dconf editor
2. Installed and the uninstalled xbindkeys
3. Made the system create an .Xmodmap in my user directory

Now all shortcuts are working, including a terminal script being run
from my eject key.

Can't say for certain what fixed the issue, but for now working (and
i'll be avoiding the gnome control centre for adjusting shortcuts until
that is patched)

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.
