I seem to identify the cause of the issue. As of Precise global shortcuts began to depend on current layout, which is wrong.
Say, I assign the global shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D to run an application. But if I have Russian layout selected in the current application, the system translates it into Ctrl+Alt+Shift+"Cyrillic ve" and ignores it. Global shortcuts depending on current keyboard layout in the application is a sort of nonsense, I suppose. ** Summary changed: - Keyboard shortcuts don't work properly + Global keyboard shortcuts should not depend on current layout ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #674892 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674892 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990957 Title: Global keyboard shortcuts should not depend on current layout Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 Precise some keyboard shortcuts assigned via System Settings -> Keyboard fail to work without any sensible reason. This applies to both standard (like Volume Up/Down) and custom shortcuts. I have a lot of custom shortcuts for starting applications, like Ctrl+Alt+Shift+<Letter>, half of them does work, half of them doesn't. Which ones exactly—changes after every logon or reassigning shortcuts in the Keyboard.
