`alt+space` hotkey is not working

[bAmrish]

I am not able to get the hotkey feature to work. I have tried updating the hotkey to different combinations of alt+x or super+x or supre+space but none of them worked. This is a fresh install.

Expected Behavior

alt+space hotkey should toggle the zuzu app

Actual Behavior

alt+space hotkey does not do anything.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

prest alt + space hotkey.

Versions

• Zazu: 0.3.2

Based on the log provided, it looks like it's registering alt+space at the time, and it never detected you hitting that combination. Is it possible your os has reserved this combination?

[hotice]

Ubuntu uses Alt + Space for the window menu (minimize, maximize, always on top, etc.). Try ctrl+space.

If you just did a fresh install it could be that you need to log-out and in again before hotkeys are picked up correctly. No clue why, but it worked for me...

I've the Ctrl+Super+Space and it works like a charm.

Where can we edit hotkeys configuration? Anybody knows?
