Hotkeys not working in Gnome3

[mkpaz]

Toggle Main - minimizes window to dock.
Toggle Finder - does nothing.

I've tested various hotkey combinations with same result. There is no any output in the dev console, so nothing to screenshot. At the same time all other hotkeys (ctrl-r, ctrl-f and so on) work as expected.

Ubuntu 17.10
Gnome 3.24

Ok, I'm not a frontend dev but I've cloned the repo and spent some time in debugging. It looks like the problem is in node-ipc bus. When I press hotkey combo I can see that server side emits broadcast message.

function toggleFinder () {
  nodeIpc.server.broadcast('open-finder')
  console.log("message sent");
}

but client side doesn't receive it.

nodeIpc.of.node.on('open-finder', function () {
  console.log("event received");
  toggleFinder()
})

Also sometimes when I run app I get the following error Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED which looks like it may be related to this issue.

One more thing, please guys consider adding UI button to toggle finder. It's is an essential feature, it's just to cruel to make hotkey combo to be the only way to use it.
