Perhaps the best solution is to upgrade to Mint 15 Cinnamon. Making custom keyboard shortcuts works fine.

Not for me. I am running Linux Mint 15, and custom keyboard shortcuts worked ok at first, but everything is behaving screwy on me now.

It seems that the problem is not related to cinammon only. Mate on Mint 15 is driving crazy, because after re-assigning the shortcut keys to change to other desktops it simply breaks the funcionality.

• Cinnamon Settings>Switch to Advanced Mode>Keyboard>Keyboard shortcuts>Custom Shortcuts>Add custom shortcut
• Enter a name and choose a command to run
• Click "unassigned" twice
• Press the key combination you want to assign to your shortcut

I am using Cinnamon 2.0.14 on Linuxmint 13 Maya.

But I am not able to change screenshot application. "Print" always uses default/builtin screenshot application. But I want to use HotShots instead. Has someone a hint for me?

I already tried

• add /usr/share/applications/keyboard-settings.desktop
• to (un)set via "gnome-control-center keyboard"
• to set shortcut like written above
• use gconf-editor

But still that damned default screenshot application catches the shortcut! >:(

Any idea? Everything is welcome!

I had the same problem as described here.

For some, unknown reason, Super+E started opening vscode. I uninstalled vscode just to see what would happen, and then Super+E started opening Disk Usage Analyzer.

I had checked everywhere; all the possible key bindings. The only thing assigned to Super+E was the home folder, which is the standard setting.

So I followed the advice in the last post here and added a custom shortcut to open Nemo with Super+E, which gives a warning that the shortcut is assigned to the home folder (duh).

I does solve the problem, but it's only a workaround. Why did it go wrong in the first place?
