I am unable to set the keyboard shortcut for the Advanced/MATE Menu to be Cntl+Esc. When I go into Preferences for the Advanced Menu (right click on the menu, Preferences), I can set the keyboard shortcut to almost anything I want (Super+Space, Cntl+Space, Cntl+Tilde), but it simply rejects Cntl+Esc.
I had previously had Cntl+Esc as the keyboard shortcut for Synapse, but since Synapse broke, I had to downgrade to a lower version that is missing some functionality. I have since changed the keyboard shortcut for Synapse to something that I don’t use, thereby freeing up Cntl+Esc.
(For reference, the Synapse story is here: Synapse Crashes at First Input after Launch)
However, I am unable to set Cntl+Esc as the shortcut for the Advanced/MATE Menu. It simply rejects it and goes back to whatever shortcut I had there (currently Cntl+Tilde (which is referrs to as [Primary]grave).
Would really like to set it to [Primary]esc (aka Cntl+Esc). I’m on MATE 16.04.1 LTS.
Thanks.
