ubuntu-mate 17.10 : keyboard shortcuts, definition file?

  • 772

I asked this question in the mate user forum but have received no reply so I bring it here.

I run some ubuntu-mate VMs and so want to copy pieces of the configuration between VMs.

For most applications I have found settings in the ~/.config directory and its siblings, but I cannot find where the keyboard shortcuts are kept.

Is there a text file? Or perhaps an export/import facility?

Thanks.

    • You can list all settings with dconf (from dconf-cli package) with

      dconf dump /

    and search for keyboard shortcuts here.

    • You can restore this settings with this example (change with your settings):

      dconf load / << EOF 
[org/mate/terminal/keybindings]
help='disabled'

EOF
