    Terminal Ctrl + Alt + T. I miss it. How to make keyboard shortcuts.

    One of the first things I noticed when I trying out Kali is the normal shotcut keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T for opening terminal window aren't set by default. Were can I set these? I'm not sure I'm looking for keybindings or hot keys or shortcuts. I looked for it on meta search. Maybe this is Linux n00b question but I've never had a need to set hot keys before.

    Anybody done this recently? Command line history? Sreen shot?

    if you run gnome versiojust go to > application > system tools > preference > system parameter > keyboard > shortcut > custom shortcut. add name and command (like "gnome-terminal") and click on the new line, when it's blue, do the shortcut Ctrl + alt +T. done!
    if you like BT5 desktop, try to install mate-desktop. maybe you like it

    Using the latest Kali rolling release on gnome desktop, I found it under the Keyboard applet.

    There are several ways to get there, this is just one:
    1. Hit Super (win key), just start typing "settings" and the app should show on the search list.
    2. Launch settings should open "All Settings" window. Listed under Hardware section is Keyboard.
    3. Launch Keyboard applet and scroll to the bottom, there should be a '+' symbol to add custom shortcuts.

    Just to add to this.. when the "Set Custom Shortcut" screen appears, name it whatever you want (probably "Terminal"). The command is "gnome-terminal" without the quotes. Then click on "Set Shortcut". Just press CTRL + ALT + T and close the window.

    Just push and hold WIN button and then press key from 1 to 9. Each of these are shortcuts that we see from left sidebar (from up to down). No problem
