But it has a workaround. Both those keys are mapped to standard (useful) emacs commands. Also in emacs Ctrl+Alt+Shift+e is translated into Ctrl+Alt+e and the same for t. I might ask on the emacs list if messing with the translate table is advisable for competent-but-not-wizard emacs users. I hesitate since Ctrl+Alt+Shift+e is not so easy to type and it might be easier to just hit super (activities view) and then select emacs/gnome-terminal from the favorites list. thanks again, allan
