How can I assign Fn + F7 to be the Guake terminal? Currently, the shortcut is F12 but I have to use the Fn switch when I want to use brightness control. I could change brightness and use F7 both if I new how to remap Guake.

It's fairly easy.

Open up the Unity menu (you can open it via the Super/Meta/Win key) or via clicking the Ubuntu logo in the upper-left:

Then search guake:

And click on the Guake Preferences icon. It'll be different looking for you, since I use the Numix Circle icon theme, but the text will be the same:

Once it opens, select the Keyboard Shortcuts tab and then click on the F12 item, under the Shortcut label:

And you should be able to set it from there!

  • Could Fn key be used in such approach? It doesn't even respond to xev command.

  • Well, I believe it could - have you tried? If it doesn't work you can always set it back.

  • I basically have it set such that if I press the brightness key it changes brightness. Therefore, to activate Guake, I have to press Fn + F12. The F7 key does nothing, so I want to be able to see guake by pressing F7 without pressing the Fn key. Following your answer didn't work though.
