Hi, since some days ago the 'Control + F' shortcut doesn't work in any aplication.
Even in 'keyboard layout' when I see the keyboard map all the keys work except Control + F, that doesn't appear to respond (they DO work on their own), BUT when I try to bind it in the keyboard shortcut options It does respond, but I don't want to bind it, I want it to use the default purpose (aka search in opera or gedit).
The only thing I may messed up is:
Code: Select all
For Linux Mint 14 ("Workaround")
The setting for a custom keyboard shortcut didn't work well when tested in Linux Mint 14, but there's a workaround to create a "Keyboard Alternate", using back the old and yet functional keyboard setting:
Press Alt-F2 and enter gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/keyboard-settings.desktop to create a new desktop file.
Paste the following code inside the new file and save it.
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Keyboard
Comment=Change keyboard settings
Exec=gnome-control-center keyboard
Icon=preferences-desktop-keyboard
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Settings;HardwareSettings;X-GNOME-Settings-Panel;

After this workaround, the setting for "Keyboard Alternate" is then available.
Go to Menu > System Tools > System Settings > Keyboard Alternate, and continue to add a new shortcut from Step 2 onwards as used for Linux Mint 13 above.
Thanks for the attention, and yeah I did some search but... nothing worked
