After I installed GNOME Shell, CTRL + ALT + T combination stopped working.

How could I fix it?

    How and why did you install GNOME shell on Ubuntu 18.04? It comes with GNOME by default. – pomsky May 06 '18 at 16:47
  • If other shortcut keys don't work could be this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1759462 If so this question would become duplicate of this question: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029730/after-upgrading-to-ubuntu-18-04-shortcut-keys-dont-work?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa – WinEunuuchs2Unix May 06 '18 at 18:03

Go to Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard, then add Ctrl + Alt + T if it does not exist.

Upgraded to 18.04 from 16.04 ; kept my preference for the Unity desktop. But couldn't open the terminal with a key combo despite checking the shortcut in the checked answer.

  • Install compizconfig-settings-manager
  • Run ccsm
  • Turn off the "Commands" plugin

This resolved the lack of ctrl-alt-T, Vol +/-, all the other extended and media keys on my keyboard.

  • Works like a charm. I started to have problems when starting to use big 4k monitor – Margus Pala Nov 17 '19 at 10:38
  • The problem comes back after a reboot. To get it to work, you can either disable or enable or disable/enable in one go. It just needs a click on the checkbox. Not sure why this works but its not the best solution. – Jus12 Dec 17 '19 at 05:41
