Description Sebastien Bacher 2007-02-19 23:10:52 UTC
That bug has been described on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/control-center/+bug/48255

"Hello,

I have a small problem with setting a keyboard shortcut in the gnome-keybinding-properties to run gnome-terminal. I am using Thinkpad R50e and I would like to fire the terminal with CTRL+Access IBM key. However, if I set it so nothing happens. I would suppose that it is because the Access IBM key is not recognized but if I set this shortcut for anything else e.g. web browser it works perfectly.
..."

Web browser keybindings are handled by gnome-settings-daemon, whereas the terminal activation is handled by metacity.  (Yes, it's stupid that we have such a split)  Anyway, if someone has time to look into this bug, the first place to look would probably be the control center code.  It's likely some kind of multimedia/internet keyboard funky handling that Bastien has fixed in the control center but which we don't have the fix for.  That's my guess...

This is another bug I want to work on when the current dust settles, but that might not be for a few weeks. If anyone wants to take it in the meantime, feel free: I've assigned it to myself so I can find it again if not.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/metacity/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
