Public bug reported:
As far as I can tell the the default behaviour when pressing ALT+F1 in
12.04 is to highlight the "Dash Home" button in the launcher, allowing
for selection between locked and open applications using the arrow keys
and return. I would however prefer to customise this keyboard shortcut
to something else (gnome-terminal).
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to System Setting > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts and add an
entry by pressing "+"(Name: Terminal, Command: gnome-terminal)
2. Click the text "disabled" on the "Terminal" row
3. Press ALT+F1
4. Verify that ALT-F1 opens the terminal window
5. Restart the PC
6. Look in: System Setting > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts - looks
like custom shortcut is still set.
7. Press ALT+F1 => dash home is highlighted, no terminal is opened
By clicking the "Terminal" row in Custom shortcuts and pressing "apply"
it seems like the shortcut is rewritten to produce a terminal window,
but doing this after every restart seems ridiculous.
I'm not sure if this problem lies specifically with gnome-control-
center..
I suspect that other "standard shortcuts" be affected in a similar way.
Thanks :)
