Public bug reported: Hello, fresh install Ubuntu 18.04 here.
# Bug description When I try to change shortcuts in "Settings > Devices > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts", some specific key combinations don't take any effect. For example: - CTRL+ALT+LEFT - CTRL+ALT+RIGHT - PrtSc No mather what action I put these combinations to, the action is not run when the combination is pressed. # Workaround: 1) You have to disable some stuff with console magic like this: $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-left "[]" $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-right "[]" $ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys screenshot '' 2) Now you can finally change the shortcuts in "Keyboard Shortcuts" settings. # The final thoughts I understand there is some high-level technology why some shortcuts are hard-wired to Ubuntu with "gsettings". But this high-level technology makes "Keyboard Shortcuts" settings not working as every average user expects. Making using Ubuntu experience painfull. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bug gnome shortcuts ** Description changed: - Hello, - fresh install Ubuntu 18.10 here. - + Hello, + fresh install Ubuntu 18.04 here. # Bug description - When I try to change shortcuts in "Settings > Devices > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts", some specific key combinations don't take any effect.
