So, something changed, that has disabled the cntrl-alt-f keys.

Any clues how to restore it?
right click on menu icon->preference->keybord shortcut

For Mate DT, what icon are you referring to?

I have

System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Keyboard

There nothing there about shortcuts.
on my Centos-7 box, using MATE, there's both keyboard and
"keyboard shortcuts" on the "hardware" menu. I think
that's the one wanted.

On her fedora Mate,
there is no
System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> "keyboard shortcuts"

What there is,
System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> keyboard -> Accessibility (a
tab) -> A checkmark for "Accessibility features can be toggled with
keyboard shortcuts"

But that does not provide anything to fix her problem.
So, the issue might be with different mate config menus for
different distros/versions ???
Yeah, I have that program too, but it's not the one needed.

pls see if there are any other mate packages not installed:

yum list available | grep -y mate

perhaps one of them dthat isn't installed has the progrm you need.

here is a list of all the mate packages I have installed, FYI:

good luck!

She has all of the packages you mention, except for libmatemixer,
which is available in fedora 22 updates repo.
But I do not think that the mixer has anything to do with my friend's
problem at hand.

OK, I have one (or two) more suggesion(s):
on my centos system, the menu item for "keyboard shortcuts" maps
to the program named gnome-keybinding-properties.

On a Fedora-21 VM I have, it links to mate-keybinding properties.

so, if your friend has either of those two programs, that's the
one you need, at least for the purpose of checking out the earlier
suggestion from another poster.

You don't even need to link it into the menus, you should be able
to run it from the commandline.

Fred
Fred, u r a lifesaver.
On her system, it is /usr/bin/mate-keybinding-properties

and that was the magic bullet!!!

Many thanx!!!

Cheers,

JD
