Is there a keyboard shortcut on linux to open a terminal
|
||
|

|

Yes 👍 — most Linux desktop environments (DEs) have a default keyboard shortcut for opening a terminal, but it can vary depending on which one you’re using:
|
||
|
||
- **GNOME (Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, etc.):**
|
||
`Ctrl + Alt + T`
|
||
|
||
- **KDE Plasma (Kubuntu, openSUSE, etc.):**
|
||
Usually also `Ctrl + Alt + T` (but can be customized).
|
||
|
||
- **XFCE (Xubuntu, etc.):**
|
||
Often `Ctrl + Alt + T`, or you can set your own in _Settings → Keyboard → Application Shortcuts_.
|
||
|
||
- **Others (MATE, Cinnamon, LXQt, etc.):**
|
||
Many also use `Ctrl + Alt + T` by default.
|
||
|
||
|
||
If it doesn’t work, you can always **assign your own shortcut**:
|
||
|
||
1. Go to your system’s **Keyboard Settings**.
|
||
|
||
2. Find **Custom Shortcuts** (or _Keyboard Shortcuts_).
|
||
|
||
3. Add a new one:
|
||
|
||
- Command: `gnome-terminal` (or `konsole`, `xfce4-terminal`, depending on your DE).
|
||
|
||
- Shortcut: choose something like `Ctrl + Alt + T`.
