Add/change keyboard shortcuts (Ubuntu)
- How to:
- Navigate to System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts.
- The existing keyboard shortcuts can be found here. They can be changed.
- Click the add button to add your own.
- My favourites: I have customized the shortcuts to act just like in Windows:
- Hide all windows and set focus to Desktop: (Windows + d)
- To open the file explorer: Although there is a default combination to open the home folder, you can add a new command to open any folder:
nautilus --browser folder_path
Eg: nautilus --browser /home/myname/d-drive
Note: nautilus is the default file browser in Ubuntu

Thanks.
If you have changed sth. with gnome-keybinding-properties (for example disabled a keyboard shortcut, e.g. ALT+F1 -that shows the main menu of the panel-) but the changes don't work (and F5 or CTRL+R on the desktop don’t solve it) this command can solve the problem:
metacity --replace (you may run it from ALT+F2)
This (re)starts the Metacity window manager.
You can also start Metacity (but not restart it; only works to start Metacity if another window manager is in use before) running:
gnome-appearance-properties (also possible from ALT+F2) and setting "Visual Effects" to None
