For some reasons custom keyboard shortcuts don't work on my machine. I tried all sort of things but when I press the corresponding hotkey nothing happens.
Built-in shortcuts such as ctr+alt+t or ctr+c/ctr+v work just fine though.
At first, it seemed some people had already encountered the exact same problem before so I was quite hopeful to solve this quickly. (cf for instance this thread or this thread)
But ultimately none of the provided solutions worked so it seems my problem come from something else.
What I've tried so far:
- I tried different types of commands. Here are some of them:
- firefox
- bash
- bash -c 'sleep 0.3 && xdotool key U00e1'
- gnome-terminal -- htop
- sh -c "cd ~/Documents && gedit test.txt"
It is worth mentioning that all those commands work in terminal
I tried different type of hotkeys (ctr+alt+a, ctr+alt+i, ctr+o, ctr+shift+d, ctr+alt+d,ctr+super+del...)
I tried to close all my programs (browser, spotify, IDE etc.) in case the shortcuts were captured by one of them.
tried to debug using:
xev | sed -n 's/^.state ([0-9].), keycode ([0-9]+) (.), .$/keycode \2 = \3, state = \1/p
as suggested in another post but what I could only derive from this was that my keyboard keys are well detected by my computer.
Where I feel super frustrated is the fact I haven't found a way to see what happens under the hood so that I could debug it somehow. ATM, it really feels just like a black box to me, hope you can help me to see through it more clearly.
Here are a couple of screenshots to illustrate my problem and make it more concrete:
Many thanks in advance for your help!
