I'm trying out Gnome on the newest version of Ubuntu and it seems that there are 'secret' key bindings. For example, Ctrl+Alt+D minimizes all my windows and Shift+Super+! Opens the first program in my dock. Under the settings and gconf-editor I cannot find these keybindings. Ctrl+Super+D also minimizes my windows but it shows that in the settings. Where can I find and edit all my key bindings? Specifically, how can I change the two key bindings previously mentioned? Thank you.

There is some mystery, but it may be revealed:
Ctrl+Alt+D is defined in
/org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/show-desktop
(check indconf-editor
):but Ctrl is named
<Primary>
here. So we can find them ingsettings
:Shift+Super+! (or more precise Shift+Super+1)
seems to be secret - are shown in
dconf-editor
and ingsettings
:Ctrl+Super+D
is defined in GNOME Control Center → Keyboard (
gnome-control-center keyboard
) and indconf-editor
(see above):and in
gsettings
:Conclusion:
gsettings
. But<Ctrl>
is named<Primary>
.RegEdit
in some other operating system.
