Custom shortcuts in Ubuntu 14.04 with gnome fallback session not working

  • 772

The custom keyboard shortcuts I set using the keyboard preferences windows is not working.

As per this link I am able to assign custom shortcut for "show desktop" only. But my shortcuts for "File Manager" etc is not working.

How can I enable this?

  1. You can always use configuration editor like dconf-editor (sudo apt-get install dconf-editor), it'll automatically create default setting or a copy from another desktop setting (e.g. Ubuntu Desktop) if you happen to login on it for the first time.

    For manually edit window manager keybindings, it should be here: org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings, or just search for it.

    You'll need to type the keyword/value manually tho', it is a low-level editor.

    I solved this using CompizConfig Settings manager. Under "Commands" I added my command and configured the ketboard shortcut.
