I used to use Super+C to take a screenshot with Shutter. After upgrading to Ubuntu 13.04, I have found the Super+C shortcut to be mapped to a "Search Photos" lens. I tried going through Compiz (and Google), but I haven't found a solution yet. Is there anyway to remove this shortcut? I've tried setting it in Shutter, but it won't override Unity.

I've tried this fix: ubuntu-answers.blogspot.com/2012/05/…. My Photo Lens no longer appears, but I still can't get shutter to work with <Super>c.– BlinkMay 6, 2013 at 18:54

Solved the problem. It seems that it was a two part problem. Needed to disable the lens (comment above), and add a custom shortcut via the Keyboard settings: shutter-project.org/faq-help/….– BlinkMay 6, 2013 at 19:11

Can you add an answer to your question?– SethMay 6, 2013 at 19:14

@Seth Will do. Apparently new users have to wait 8 hours before answering their own question. I'll answer it later.– BlinkMay 6, 2013 at 19:43

I managed to solve my problem by combining two solutions I found online
Steps to Solve:
- Open a terminal
- Enter the command:
sudo gedit /usr/share/unity/lenses/photos/photos.lens - Scroll to the bottom of this file and change
Shortcut=ctoShortcut=(or if you do use the Photo Lens, you can set it equal to another letter) - Save and close gedit
- Enter the command:
setsid unity - Open the Keyboard settings (type
Keyboardin dash) - Select Shortcuts tab.
- Select bottom left option for Custom Shortcuts
- Click the + button to add new shortcut
- Enter details, Name: Shutter Selection, Command: shutter -s, Click Apply
- Click
Disabledand enter your desired shortcut (Super+C) in my case. - Close Keyboard Settings.
- Log out and log back in.
Note: shutter -s is to take a selection screen grab, you may want another option, check shutter help to determine what flag you want.
