Does not work: gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/ binding "<Primary><Shift>Escape" Does not work: gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/ binding "<Ctrl><Shift>Escape" Works (because it's Q and not Escape): gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/ binding "<Ctrl><Shift>Q" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1350527 Title: Custom keyboard shortcuts using Esc key do not work Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have just upgraded to 14.04 and found an issue with custom keyboard shortcuts. In 12.04 I used to have Shift + Ctrl + Esc as a custom shortcut to suspend my machine, upon upgrading I have found that any combination use Esc key will not run the command. It appears to be a regression from 13.10 as another user is reporting the same issue in askubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/q/489418/8570 Using any alternative such as Shift + Ctrl + F1 works fine.
