User can notice that adding custom shortcuts to keyboard will not work in some situations.

Steps :

1. Boot 
2. Go to settings - keyboard
3. Go to Shortcuts tab - Custom shortcuts (bottom)
4. Click the "+" and add random name and command "terminal"
5. Press to define key combinations (right side) and select "Alt+t" for example
6. Close settings and try the new shortcut, observe it does not work

Expected outcome

Actual outcome

Which exact version of gnome-control-center is this about?
Comment 2 celine.LEGUAY 2013-07-23 08:19:32 UTC 
gnome-control-center 3.8.3

"terminal" isn't a valid command, and we don't show errors in the UI when the command fails.
Replacing "terminal" with a valid command (such as "gnome-terminal") launches it just fine.

Adding ui-review keyword to know whether we should pop up an error dialogue.
Comment 4 André Klapper 2021-06-09 16:29:59 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new bug report at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
