Description Ulrich Hobelmann 2013-01-20 14:49:12 UTC 
Description of problem:
I cannot open a terminal by pressing F12 as a keyboard shortcut.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Latest from Fedora 18 stable. I'm not sure which mate component is responsible for the shortcuts...

How reproducible:
(a) assign F12 as the shortcut for "Desktop -> Run a terminal".
(b) alternatively add a new command "Terminal" and add F12 as the shortcut. The new command can point to "mate-terminal" or to the full path with /usr/bin.

F12 does nothing. Other keyboard shortcuts work fine, including the default ones like Ctrl-F1.

I also tried assigning something like ctrl-h to open the terminal (instead of a function key). It also doesn't work.

Terminal also cannot be selected in preferred applications.

Maybe this is why the builtin "Run a terminal" doesn't work. But an explicit command should still run when I press the shortcut.

This is a known issue.
