Idea:

There is no keyboard shortcut to run terminal enabled as default.I was searching for a few days in various forums to no avail.

I just "discovered" that there is an option for it in keyboard shortcuts and I am now able to use it.I used to give up after reading a bit about XF86(what is that ?) something for volume increase,decrease,XF86WWW etc in the keyboard shortcuts program menu.

It would be nice if a keyboard shortcut is enabled for terminal as default preferably Ctrl-Alt-T as it is the "standard" shortcut.

Thank you for your time.

10 months ago	abnvolk	??? It seems that on my Mint, the shortcut is enabled by default.
