Linux Mint Cinnamon 18 – Where Keyboard Shortcuts Are Saved

keyboard shortcutslinux-mint

In what file are the keyboard shortcuts saved in Linux Mint Cinnamon 18 ?

I want to backup the shortcuts so if I know the file where the shortcuts are saved, I can simply create a symlink to the shortcut file after reinstalling the OS.

Best Answer

You can utilize the following to export your keyboard shortcuts to a file:

$ dconf dump /org/cinnamon/desktop/keybindings/ > dconf-settings.conf

This requires the dconf-cli package to be installed. Then, to import the file after making any desired keybinding changes:

$ dconf load /org/cinnamon/desktop/keybindings/ < dconf-settings.conf
