18.04 Change Workspace Keyboard shortcut, conflicting with that for switching apps on the dash [duplicate]

  • 772

I followed the steps mentioned in: 18.04 Change shortcut for switching workspace - Ask Ubuntu, to change Keyboard shortcuts to switch to another workspace, as can be seen in the following picture:

Most of the times this works. But, sometimes this shortcut that I have set Super+1 and so on conflicts with the other shortcut: The icons on the dash or Ubuntu Dock (on the left edge of the screen gets switched) as shown in the following figure: (You can observe that numbers appear at the bottom of each icon.)

How can I completely disable or change the shortcuts to switch apps on the vertical dash, so that it doesn't conflicts with my workspace switching shortcuts?

    This command will disable the hot-keys behaviour.

    gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock hot-keys false

    This command will disable the showing of numbers.

    gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock hotkeys-overlay false

    If you want to change the shortcuts for these behaviours.

    Open the dconf-editor (if not yet installed, use sudo apt install dconf-editor)

    change the values like for example: app-hotkey-8 from '<Super>'8 to '<Ctrl>8' or any valid shortcut your prefer.
