A workaround is to either open a terminal or Alt+F2 and issue the command 'unity' . This fixes the shortcuts by restarting unity, but all applications keep running, wihout login/out.
You may want to try to run this command on resume|thaw in /usr/lib/pm- utils, since the keyboards (for me) seem to get lost on docking/undocking and related resumes; but I'm still testing, so i don't now if this is a robust (automatic) workaround. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1188569 Title: Some keyboard shortcuts randomly stop working Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, Certain shortcuts randomly stops working in my computer. They are Super+s (workspace switcher), Super+Up (switch to workspace above) and Super+Down (switch to workspace below). Other shortcuts work fine. A few notes that might help: 1- Reassigning shortcuts make them work again except for Super+s. 2- Rebooting make shortcuts work. 3- I have been using these shortcuts with many previous ubuntu versions and my preferences are old. 4- I am not sure of certain steps that produces the problem. The shortcuts sometimes stop working but once they stop, they do not work unless I reassign them or reboot. I am using Ubuntu 13.04.
