Openning root terminal by keyboard shortcut

Question

I am using Debian Linux and I am setting some shortcuts on it. So in keyboard window I went to shortcut, added gnome-terminal, and set Ctrl + t as the keys.

But in Debian we also have "Root Terminal" so we can open a terminal session as root. I want to set a shortcut for this. What command I should allocate to it?

Solution

Go to Keyboard window and in the Custom Shortcut part the command is:

gksu gnome-terminal

You're doing it wrong. Just type su in any terminal.

I know the usage of su. I think you couldn't understand me.... I wanted a shortcut for opening gksu commadn so that when I do Ctrl+Shift+t it also opens a root terminal again for me..See my answer that works and please test it to see what is happening..thank you for response
