My laptop has several buttons on the very left,

Calculator, Unknown, Web Browser, Unknown, Mail.

I know these work as the calculator, mail, and web browser buttons work,

I want to map the other two buttons, the first Unknown I wish to map to "open nautilus", the second one I wish to map to "open terminal" How can I do this?

My assumption is that Unity 3D (with Compiz) is being used. Ensure that Compiz Configuration Settings Manager (CCSM) has been installed => compizconfig-settings-manager

Once CCSM has been successfully installed, start the CCSM application. Under the General category, select Commands

From here it is simply a matter of configuring the command and appropriate key-binding (see the above image). As noted above, to start Nautilus the appropriate command is nautilus. For Gnome-Terminal, the command is gnome-terminal. I hope this helps.
