Jtdcftul

I am on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (in gnome-shell) and I am unable to use my "d" key. Regular gnome-2 works perfectly fine, but for some reason I cannot use my "d" key in gnome-3. I recently installed it and have been trying to figure this out, but I have no clue what's going on. I attempted to disable the keyboard shortcut that minimizes active windows, but that did not work. (My only option right now is to use CTRL-V to paste my "d"s.)

On top of this, my arrow keys automatically move my windows and I cannot move through text using them. What's going on here, folks?

Here's the result of that comman()

I see nothing relating to 'd'.

I went into org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings using dconf-editor and looked at my keyboard shortcuts. Nothing is set to ['d']. I have no clue why this is happening now that I've seen the system is saying it's not the keyboard shortcuts.

I had the same problem with 12.10 over a nginx X connection. I guess whats happening is that you don't have a super key on your keyboard and then it gets dropped, so that a Super + d shortcut becomes just "d".

Open dconf-editor and navigate to org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings

You should see a list with all gnome shortcuts. I've changed all occurrences of <Super> to <Primary> (which is the cmd-key on my mac-keyboard) and got rid of the problem.

Perhaps somehow a keyboard shortcut got set to 'd'.
Try using dconf Editor to change the shortcut in question back using dconf-editor.

To see all the currently set non-default dconf settings, run dconf dump / look for something whose value is 'd' or something like that.
