Pressing Ctrl + Alt + t seems to do nothing on my Linux Mint 13 MATE.



How can I set this shortcut to launch a terminal window?



As a detail, it seems the terminal is mate-terminal rather than gnome-terminal.

          You can just use Keyboard Shortcuts, available via Main Menu's Search ..



          Just Add a new item... eg. named mate-terminal ... the command should be mate-terminal



          Then click on the new item (which appears at the bottom of the list).. and type Control-Alt-t ...



          All done...



          If you have compiz installed, you can also use its Commands options, but the above method should still work.
