Custom, I suppose? I've been using Emacs since 1996, and I certainly don't have C-M-e nor C-M-t defined. > 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 usually launch from the activities view. It's fast enough to do Super -> e -> m (and Emacs jump to the first selected item). I believe if you have a program in your favorites, it jumps faster (I just now realized that Super -> e brings me Emacs right away). Anyway, with some luck the bug will be closes soon enough.
