Linux – Disable Ctrl+Alt Hotkeys in certain programs

cinnamonkeyboard shortcutslinux-mint

I am using Sublime Text 3 which uses CtrlAlt$key hotkeys for a few important functionalities, but CtrlAltLeft (for example) switches workspaces. Is there a way I can disable the OS functions of these hotkeys while I'm using Sublime Text 3?

I'm running Linux Mint 16 Petra with Cinnamon desktop, and the latest version of Sublime Text 3

Best Answer

You can simply un-map the keys.

Run dconf-editor. Head to org.cimmamon.muffin.keybindings. And empty or change the conflicting key bindings.

I recommend you edit the keybindings in Sublime Text though.

edit 

org.cinnamon.desktop.keybindings.wm

'cause

org.cinnamon.muffin.keybindings

seems to be deprecated
