Keyboard shortcut to bring up System Monitor












4














I am running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut to bring up the System Monitor - I should be most grateful if someone could let me know how to do this. I am aware of the Custom Settings in the Keyboard (under System Settings) but can't get this to open the System Monitor app.

The command you need



If you already found out how to set a custom shortcut: the command you need to set is:



gnome-system-monitor


How to find out the command



To find a command like that is often easy:




  • Open the application


  • Open a terminal, type xprop, click on the application's window. In the terminal output that appears, look for a line like:



    WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gnome-system-monitor", "Gnome-system-monitor"


    ...and there we are, often the lower case version is the command to run the application. There are a few other ways though. One is to look into the corresponding .desktop file in /usr/share/applications and see what (the first) Exec= -line sais.
