Public bug reported: Since I updated to 12.04 customized keyboard shortcuts with <Alt>+<Fn> do no longer work. I can still modify the settings in System Settings → Keyboard → Shortcuts, but they are ignored.
I mapped Alt+F1 and Alt+F2 to custom applications and toggle maximize to Alt+F5. In both Unity and Gnome Shell, as a guest user (i.e. with a clean profile), the settings are ignored. In Gnome shell, Alt+F1 opens the overview, Alt+F2 opens the command window. In Unity, Alt+F2 opens the overview. I only tested Alt+F5 in Gnome shell: The window is never maximized, only the unmaximizing works. In Gnome Shell, the settings do sometimes work right after I set them. If I for example set the Alt+F2 short cut, close the settings window and then press Alt+F2, nothing happens for the first few attemps and then one (!) window pops up eventually. After some time, the old behavior returns and Alt+F2 opens the command window again. After logging out, the settings are gone in any case. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989648 Title: Keyboard shortcuts with <Alt>+<Fx> do not work in Ubuntu 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/989648/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
