*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 950160 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/950160
This bug is not exactly a duplicate of bug #950160, as I can still create keyboard shortcuts with the Alt key (e.g. Alt-Y). As I do not know the technical underpinnings, would the resolution of bug #950160 also fix this bug? If so, marking this as a duplicate is valid; if not, this is not a duplicate. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995885 Title: Custom keyboard shortcuts do not work if they use the Super key Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Prior to Precise 12.04, you could use the Super key in shortcuts, for example Ctrl-Super-M. However, with 12.04, if you set a shortcut with Super, it simply does not work. There is no error message; it just doesn't do anything. To duplicate: First, ensure that zenity is installed (it should be, by default). Second, create the shortcut: 1. System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts 2. Press "+". 3. Name: Test 4. Command: zenity --info --title='Test' --text='Testing shortcuts' 5. Apply. 6. Click on "Disabled". 7. Press Ctrl-Alt-M Third, test it: 1. Press Ctrl-Alt-M 2. A dialogue displays. 3. Close the dialogue. Fourth, use the Super key: 1. Click where it says "Ctrl-Alt-M" 2. Press Ctrl-Super-M Fifth, test it again: 1. Press Ctrl-Super-M 2. Nothing happens. What should happen: A dialogue displays.
