However, when I checked in 20.04 and 20.10, they don't seem to be working for me. :confused: I've flagged this to the team, since the documentation in Welcome will need amending.

I switched to Linux a year ago, still pretty green, and recently installed 20.04 with MATE on an external SSD with a USB 3.0 connection. MATE runs OK for the most part, but there are some quirks that are giving me pause, and hoping someone could point me in a useful direction.

None of the keyboard shortcuts in the MATE Welcome window work, including Ctrl + Alt + t. However, within an open terminal keyboard shortcuts like Shift + Ctrl + T do work.
I'm guessing there is a config file somewhere where these shortcuts are defined, but I'm at a loss as to where it would be and what should/shouldn't be edited.

Thanks,
Ben
