Keyboard shortcuts not working in gnome-shell 3.2?

Question

I was wondering if keyboard shortcuts (like Alt+F1, Alt+F2) support is removed from gnome shell 3.2?

If not then I'm missing something as I can't seem to use them.

Solution

ok so by default Alt+F2 doesn't work in gnome shell [source: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html] Here is solution they have provided:

To fix it, open "System Settings" and under Keyboard > Shortcuts > System, click "Disabled" next to "Show the run command prompt" and press Alt + F2 - this should set Alt + F2 for running the command prompt.

Are only the F1, F2, etc shortcut keys not working? Ie: If you do crtl+alt+tab nothing happens?

sorry for incomplete info. but Alt+Tab, Alt+Ctrl+Tab, Alt+F9, Alt+F7 are working

Can it be that you have a "fn" key in your keyboard?

[wisemonkey]

I do have fn key on my keyboard but F1, F2 are accessible without fn key fn+(Function key) gives me extra functionality like sleep, battery stats etc. And Alt+F2 used to work until gnome (not Unity/gnome-shell)

nope didn't work just tried sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade. Moreover on terminal mouse wheel scroll gives me previous commands rather than moving a page (previous behavior)

Working perfectly on my machine, click on Alt + F2 NOT on Show the run command prompt and then change or disable by pressing Backspace. And you should have started new question as right now I'm the only one (not whole community) being notified of your question. Have fun :)

Doesn't work, nothing happens when I click "Disabled" there.
