From here

Tell to does it

From the applications screen (move your mouse to the top-left corner), open Settings (type "settings" and click on the icon)

But i have not "setting"... Screenshot from my Desktop enter image description here

With apt-cache policy gnome

gnome:
Installiert:           (keine)
Installationskandidat: 1:3.22+3
Versionstabelle:
 1:3.22+3 500
    500 http://deb.debian.org/debian stable/main amd64 Packages

How can I do this?

  • Please edit your question and tell us what you actually did. When you tried to follow this answer, what happened? Did you not find the relevant setting? Did you find it but it didn't work? And no, Mate doesn't use Gnome2, Mate uses Mate. It is similar to gnome2 but different.

  • Yes, you're not using Gnome, you're using Mate. There must be a "Settings" app in Mate though. Either in the menu or on the top bar or both. Can't you find one?

I find it...

My Mistake .. I to think that Mate und Gnome are one thing , but are Two , too Mate working with GNOME 2 ...

In System + Preferences + Hardware , is the keyboard Shortcuts enter image description here

then , with + (Add) , open a Window

enter image description here

and write , in Name , Terminal , in Befehl(command), gnome-terminal .

Then , with the Maus on Right Side(but sometimes on the Left side..., you try one , and when it not working , the another...) click on Terminal Line ,

enter image description here

and give with the Keyboard , Ctrl Alt T ( I write Strg because my Kyboard is from germany...),then give on the Keyboard ↵ Enter ....

It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but, on most desktop environments, even the ones with drop-down terminals, you can just use Alt+F2 to run the command referring to the terminal you want to use (e.g. xterm, mate-terminal, etc.).

On the other hand, for MATE, apparently, using Ctrl+Alt+T is enough to open a terminal window the easy way.
