panel keyboard shortcuts not configurable

[Nafallo Bjälevik]

Binary package hint: unity

 Hi,

I'm using an up-to-date natty with Unity, and the keyboard shortcuts alt+f1 and alt+f2 stays the same even if I change them to something else and use the standard key combos for something else. My changes get totally ignored.

Cheers, /N

How are you changing them? I rebound the alt+f2 functionality and it changed as expected.

 Hi,

I'm trying to change it via: indicator-session → System Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts → Enter on Show the panel's "Run Application" dialogue box → alt+space

After that alt+space doesn't work, but alt+f2 still brings up the run dash. I might want to mention I'm on 64-bit x86_64.

Cheers, /N

You need to do it via ccsm. Install compizconfig-settings-manager, and you'll be able to change the bindings there.

This does not apply to all keyboard shortcuts. Unity replaced my Super+T shortcut to open a terminal with Super+T to open the trash folder. There does not appear to be any way to re-map the 'Open trash folder' shortcut. It is not in the Gnome Keyboard Shortcuts applet, nor in the ccsm bindings, and searching through Gconf to find settings containing the value Super seems to indicate that there is not gconf setting for this shortcut.

I confirm that it ignores my attempts to change the "Run applications dialog" shortcut.

It also ignores my attempts to change the shortcut for "Move between windows of an application, moving a popup window" and "Move between panels and the desktop, using a popup window".

There is a workaround.

apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager. When you run it, you can click on the thing for the Unity plugin. This will allow you to change the keys for the Run dialog, and for the Dash thingy (if you don't want Super/Windows to pop that up).

Then, under Window Management (I'm using the Static Application Switcher), you can set the keys for Next window (Group) and Prev window (Group) (I'm using <Alt>grave and <Alt><Shift>asciitilde).

It'd be nice if these plugins would read from the gnome settings, though.

they are reconfigurable in CCSM under the Unity plugin.
