Description of problem: I would like to set F1 as a shortcut to open a terminal. But when I try to assign F1 as a shortcut the help browser is opened instead Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 19 control-center-3.8.3-2.fc19.i686 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open keyboard shortcuts panel in settings 2. Make sure F1 is not assigned to anything 3. Select an action that you would like to assign F1 to (for me this is a custom launcher for gnome-terminal) 4. Click on the shortcut side of the entry, so that it changes from 'disabled' to 'New accelerator ...' 5. Press F1 key Actual results: Help browser opens Expected results: F1 is assigned as shortcut Additional info: I can assign other F keys fine.
F1 is hard-coded to open Help in many apps.
Then the keyboard shortcut panel is broken for allowing users to select F1 as a shortcut. New expected results: A nice message to tell you that F1 is special and can't be used for shortcuts.
