I'm using Ctrl+r for searching command history in the terminal but this keyboard shortcut is not comfortable for me.
I would prefer using Ctrl+k
How can I update this keyboard shortcut?
(Updating to Ctrl+k in addition to Ctrl+r is also an option)

In gconf-editor set the key
/apps/compiz-1/plugins/gnomecompat/screen0/options/command_terminal
to gnome-terminal --maximize
The best way I have found to do this without removing my hands from the keyboard:
Most keyboards nowadays have a "right click" key (don't know if it has an official name), located between the right alt and right ctrl, looks like an icon of a menu. Clicking on that opens up the right click menu of the current window (your mouse doesn't have to be in the window itself).
Therefore, the shortcut is Keyboard Right Click Key + E.
BTW, If you don't have a right click button on keyboard, you can right click using: SHIFT+F10, and then press E. Less intuitive, but also works...

You can use the shell builtin command "bind" for that. What you specifically want is:
bind '"\C-k":"\C-r"'
Put that in your ~/.bashrc file and it should work each time you open up a shell. For more details checkout the bind section here.
