Description Fred Smith 2011-06-21 03:04:13 UTC

Description of problem:

When establishing a keyboard shortcut for a Launcher item like 'Launch Terminal', it is possible to assign these functions to the Function Keys (I tested F9 through F12.)  However, it is not possible to establish a new shortcut under "Custom Shortcuts" using these keys. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gnome-shell-3.0.2-1.fc15.i686

How reproducible:

Reliably

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the Shortcuts tab under the Keyboard settings screen in System Settings
2. Click on "Custom Shortcuts"
3. Click on the '+' sign in the bottom left.
4. Under "Name" type "Terminator", Under Command type "/usr/bin/terminator". Click Apply
5. click the "Disabled" label on the right hand side of the screen.
6. Press F12
7. Close the keyboard shortcuts window.
8. Press F12 again.

  
Actual results:

4~ will be sent to the active window

Expected results:

A new 'terminator' instance should be launched.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 17:46:10 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
