drop-down terminal

MX doesn't bind F12 to open CD as far as I know and both Yakuake and Guake have F12 as the default key, I think it's wise to keep the same default key for the same function, it's bad for similar programs to each define a different hot key.

I intially set this up with F12 as the shortcut, forgetting that F12 is used by Firefox. Having been reminded, I went to change it to F10. Unless I've missed something, this is not simple - I eventually deleted the entry for F12 and created a new one for F10.

Not hard either, though: Settings manager > Keyboard > Application shortcuts, double-click the existing shortcut and enter a new one when the dialog box pops up.

That doesn't seem to allow change of the shortcut key - only the command.

Maybe you're in the wrong place: you have to double-click the existing shortcut itself.

It took me a while to figure that out too.

You need to doubleclick in the Shortcut column with the cursor on the "F12", "F10", "F4", etc. that's currently assigned as the shortcut.

Thanks - I tried almost every other possibility, but not that. When a whole row is highlighted, I lazily assumed you could click anywhere with the same effect.
