'CTRL-ALT-T' not working in Lubuntu 18.04

Question

I'm new to Linux, ubuntu, and lubuntu so this might be an easy fix.

Today I installed Lubuntu 18.04 and suddenly after a reboot the lxterminal won't launch via 'CTRL-ALT-T' anymore. It still works perfectly fine after launching through run or the menu. The shortcut simply doesn't work anymore.

I think it broke because I was messing around in 'default applications for lxsession'. I changed around some default programs, such as VLC. I don't think I changed the 'Terminal manager' launch application but even if I did, I'm pretty sure I've reset it to what it was before (lxterminal &) and it still isn't working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ctrl-alt-t is not a magic combo. Something has to bind it to an app. Look in `~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml`. — cylgalad, Jun 12 '18 at 07:09

To map keyboard shortcuts in Lubuntu / LXDE you can edit ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml and restart openbox via $ sudo openbox --reconfigure to reload the configuration.

Or you can use lxhotkey, a simple program to set up keyboard shortcuts.
