After upgrading to 14.04 my Ubuntu started capturing Alt for window menu focus. This hides Guake when I type Alt+., for example, and takes away the focus of many text fields.

This shortcut is not listed in Preferences-> Keyboard -> Shortcuts. How do I disable it?

  • I removed the part about Ctrl+Space because it turned out to be unrelated. If you are having problems with it, check out http://askubuntu.com/questions/243639/ . – BoppreH May 07 '14 at 18:42

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

  • I'll only be able to test this solution tomorrow, but it seems good. Don't worry about the `Ctrl>+Space` issue, it's been fixed thanks to http://askubuntu.com/questions/243639/ . – BoppreH May 07 '14 at 01:00

    Thanks, it's working. You have to click on "Ubuntu Unity Plugin" within the `ccsm` tool. – NickT May 07 '14 at 05:09
  • It worked like a charm. Turns out the Ctrl+Space shortcut was unrelated, so I removed it from the question. – BoppreH May 07 '14 at 18:42
