This is a know problem with the keyboard shortcut editor, I'm not sure how to fix it, but you can get around it by editing the gconf values by running gconf-editor and browsing to /apps/metacity/global_keybindings and editing the values you require in there. There are also pairs of run_command_1-12 that you can assign and and the edit the command they run in /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands. That is if you use metacity and not compiz. For ie I have: /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_1 = <Super>e and /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_1 = nautilus --no-desktop
And that emulates the windows behavior fine for me. - Karl On Feb 20, 2008 8:38 PM, Sebastian Spiess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi all, > > for a while i've been using the keyboard shortcut <alt>+e to replace the > windows behaviour <win>+e > to start nautilus in my home dir (similar to windows behaviour). > > I would like to switch the shortcut to <win>+e but as soon as I try to > instate the shortcut I > can't add the <e> to the combination.
