Be aware that Super+Up, Super+Left, and Super+Right work for maximize, mazimize to the left, and maximize to the right. > However, I have had 2 custom keyboards with previous gnome's > > Super+T gnome-terminal > Super+E emacs > > This does not work.

Known bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659899 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655615 Basically, GNOME Shell treats the Super key as special, and sometimes shortcuts binded to it fail. It is a bug, however, and devs are discussing how to handle it. In the mean time, may I recommend trying: Ctrl+Alt+e -> Emacs Ctrl+Alt+t -> Terminal It is not optimal, and the bug should be fixed. But it has a workaround. Regards. -- Canek Peláez Valdés Posgrado en Ciencia e Ingeniería de la Computación Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
