[Bug 1188569] Re: Some keyboard shortcuts randomly stop working

 

I got the same. I made a different post, bug 1405214, and list  some observations here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1405214

Whenever shortcuts stop working, and 
unity-settings-daemon 
crashes then also. (and it seems notify-osd, too, but I'm not sure)

It seemed first that
unity-tweak-tool --reset

fixed the issue -- but the problem returned (careful, many of your unity
custom settings will be lost and you need to reconfigure if you do
this!)

I still get the impression that this crash may be related to docking my
laptop -- at least I need to suspend and wake several times, otherwise
it doesn't happen. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

--> This is super annoying and debilitates my work flow enormously, as I
favor shortcuts vs. mouse usage!

  Some keyboard shortcuts randomly stop working

Bug description:
  Hi,
  Certain shortcuts randomly stops working in my computer. They are Super+s (workspace switcher), Super+Up (switch to workspace above) and Super+Down (switch to workspace below). Other shortcuts work fine.

  A few notes that might help:
  1- Reassigning shortcuts make them work again except for Super+s.
  2- Rebooting make shortcuts work.
  3- I have been using these shortcuts with many previous ubuntu versions and my preferences are old.
  4- I am not sure of certain steps that produces the problem. The shortcuts sometimes stop working but once they stop, they do not work unless I reassign them or reboot.

  I am using Ubuntu 13.04.

  Thank you
