I just installed Oneiric Oncelot. It's on a Lenovo 4446-25U laptop, running Unity, nothing really customized yet, it was a fresh install. I wanted to add a keyboard shortcut for Terminator and Netbeans and few other apps I use. For instance, I want Terminator to run when I press Ctrl+Alt+T, Firefox when I press Ctrl+Alt+F, etc.
I opened the System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts > + … added "Launch Terminator" with a command of "terminator" and clicked "Apply." It shows up in the list with "Disabled" to the right. So I click on it to highlight it and press my Ctrl+Alt+F key combo … and it stays at Disabled. So I look around in the shortcuts, and I'm able to set the key combo for the other items. For instance, for "Launch Terminal" I highlight it, press "Enter" and it says "New command…" and I press Ctrl+Alt+T and it works.
I thought, oops, doubled a command. So I disabled the "Launch Terminal" shortcut with backspace, went back to my custom one, and it still doesn't read the key combo. It still just says "Disabled."
What am I doing wrong???

click on that disabled textthen it will ask for new acceleration keys now hold the keys that you wanna set.
