How to get F-12/ beam stopper to work on the machine (recommendation to do this before the start of the shift)

Workaround for when encountering F-12 and F-11(enables beam stop in XRT) Keyboard shortcuts not working : 

    • Restart the gnome shell by pressing, ALT + F2 , typing "r" in the Enter command window. 
    • Reapply the gnome settings by running "gnome-settings.sh"
