Not sure how you set custom keyboard shortcuts in Fedora 15. There's no keyboard shortcuts in applications (just keyboard settings, and that crashes every time I try to load it).

Hmm I think it is indeed in "keyboard settings" from this page:

Unfortunately, every time I try to launch keyboard settings it crashes. Is anyone else having this issue. Ideas on how to fix?

Seems to be a bug. :( Anyone else having this problem?

Tried reinstalling via yum, no dice.

It doesn't crash for me and it lets me edit an existing shortcut but won't let me add another.

Apparently a known bug for x86_64

I've posted a workaround on the bug page listed above that should get the keyboard settings functional again. Hopefullly someone will fix the control center and get an update out soon.

(grrr... didn't notice I had a typo in my login name when I registered... and "perlguy" was already taken...)

Anyway, seems the keyboard and display settings applets both need some work. I can't add keyboard shortcuts either. complains (on the console) about

(gnome-control-center:14361): GConf-WARNING **: Directory `/desktop/gnome/keybindings/custom0' was not being monitored by GConfClient 0x1581920

You *can* get new shortcuts working with gconf-editor, under apps->metacity, global_keybindings and keybinding_commands. I'm not sure if that's supported or not, but it works at the moment.

Yeah I installed on another computer and had the same issue. Bummer, b/c hitting ctrl + alt + t to launch a terminal and ctrl + alt + h to launch nautilus to my home folder is pretty much second nature to me.

Good news is that super + t-e-r-m + enter is reasonably fast...
