show-desktop dconf key is being used as the shortcut for workspace overview

[Anshul Gangwar]

show-desktop shortcut is by default set to ['<Super>Down', '<Super>s'] seen using dconf-editor. When using these shortcuts it is resulting in workspace overview which is not what description means.

Where is this option? I'm pretty sure the Keyboard settings manager doesn't expose a "show desktop" keybinding.

At any rate, this happens because those two key combinations are binded to the workspace overview. Try unbinding those in the Keyboard settings manager and it should work.

I have already mentioned I have seen the shortcuts from dconf-editor.

In other words there is no shortcut for show desktop/hide all normal windows.

I did not find any shortcut/setting in Keyboard settings manager for show desktop/Hide all normal windows so I tried to set it using dconf-editor. In dconf-editor I find that it is already set to ['<Super>Down', '<Super>s']. So there is no way to set show-desktop shortcut.

So basically I am saying that meaning of show-desktop setting is changed to show workspace switcher

show-desktop is present in dconf schema at org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings.

Please don't confirm your own bug reports.

After a little of investigation, I found out that the "show desktop" dconf key is actually being used to configure the shortcut to show workspaces. It seems the ability to minimize all windows and show the desktop is not implemented at all in Gala.

I'll forward this bug to the developer to see if this is indeed the case, and to see whether this feature is planned or not.
