xfce: ctrl + t doesn't work!
In xfce I can't open a terminal by ctrl + t
I suppose this must be normal but why?
And most importantly: Can I get that short cut to work (again)?
Try Ctrl + Alt + T.
Doesn't work. and when I'm using Abrowser, that opens another tab.
Should be in XFCE's keyboard settings then.
Thanks.
It's the first time I tried it, but it was quite easy to create a short cut. The difficult part is to figure out the right command to launch a given program/app. I copied it from the properties of that entry in the main menu.
I am a translator!
Assign it in the options. Go in the main Xfce options menu - keyboard - Application shortcuts
Add - xfce4-terminal
and assign "ctrl + t"
I had some problems in the past with that gui method. What always works is manually editing /home/user/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml file, and adding an entry in custom section.
<property name="custom" type="empty">
<property name="<Super>t" type="string" value="x-terminal-emulator"/>
</property>
edit: "less than" and "greater than" symbols around "Super" should be "ampersandlt;" and "ampersandgt;", they are autoscaped in the forum.
By the way mentioned above I added "exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator"
Is there any difference from the app launched by your suggestion? I have never figured out why there are different possible terminal kind of apps.
