Just installed CentOS 7 on my laptop. This new version of CentOS is pretty different from older ones, and I cannot make a keyboard shortcut for Terminal in older ways. Dose anybody know how ?

Go to Settings >>> keyboard >>> Shortcuts tab >>> Custom Shortcuts >>> click "+"
Name: Terminal Shortcut
Command: gnome-terminal
Now a new shortcut added with status "disabled". Click on "disabled" word and assign your shortcut.
For me, I prefer Ctrl+Alt+t to run Terminal
