[SOLVED] gnome keyboard shortcuts

netimen · 10-12-2009, 03:47 AM

Can't set a keyboard shortcut to launch opera browser. I use gconf-editor.
I set a keybinding for run_command_1 to <Control><Alt>z
I set command_1 to /usr/bin/opera
But when I press Ctrl + Alt + z nothing happens

I'm running ubuntu 9.04

Why not just put an icon for Opera on your toolbar?

Try different key combinations with the same command and different commands with the same key combination. This should tell you if it is the key combination or the command that is the problem.

In case it helps, I set up

Code:

run_command_1:  <Super>E
command_1: /usr/bin/nautilus /home/c/d/

and that worked OK.

If Opera is your default web browser you can use the Gnome keyboard shortcuts program from the toolbar menu to configure that:
System > Preferences > Personal > Keyboard Shortcuts
is how it is listed in Fedora. Scroll down to "Desktop", "Launch Web Browser". It's possible there is already a shortcut linked to the one you chose.
If you can't find it in your menu you might can run it with:
gnome-keybinding-properties
command.

Yeah, thank you, that method worked!
