I was using Ubuntu 18.04 with GNOME normally, then I decided to install the Unity.



After that, the keyboard shortcuts have changed or even some of them do nothing.



For example:



CTRL+ALT+T opens a terminal, but it is not working anymore
Inside Terminator terminal I used to use this default shortcut:



CTRL+SHIFT+E but now it opens Emoji Choice menu.



How can I fix it and turn back the default keyboard shortcuts?



P.S.: I did nothing more than just install Unity.



UPDATE 1:



I installed the compiz as shown on this post.



This fixed the media keys that were not working in my keyboard, and I also could fix the keyboard shortcut for opening the terminal.



However, the CTRL+SHIFT+Eis still opening this Emoji Choice menu.

  • @DavidFoerster actually it is different, although I have checked the solution you mentioned, the problem behavior is different. Even though the shortcuts are properly configured as the link you provided, there are conflicting ones as I mentioned above.

Some of the shortcuts is impossible to change with built-in system settings GUI. Most other system-wide shortcuts could be changed through dconf as described here.



  • Open Terminal (Alt+Ctrl+T by default)

  • sudo apt-get install dconf-editor

  • dconf-editor

  • Navigate to desktop.ibus.panel.emoji hotkey

  • Further toggle Use default value and change the shortcut to as in the image below:
