gnome-shellgnome3keyboard shortcuts
Kernel: x86_64 Linux 4.4.5-1-ARCH
GNOME: 3.20.0
I am unable to make use of the shortcut SUPER+M. What I've tried so far:
assigning the shortcut to the system's email program
assigning the shortcut to start a process thunderbird
However, pressing it only opens the notification bar/calendar instead.
Is this a bug or did I overlook something?
Is this (similar to) what you see?
If so, try clicking on the activated keybinding (e.g. "Ctrl+Alt+T" in the screenshot1) and press Backspace to clear it (as mentioned at the bottom of the window)
(No idea how to remove a disabled shortcut, gconf-editor maybe?)
(1) which I snitched from this blog
I don't usually use gnome (I installed Ubuntu and just use unity), but when I used gnome I set custom shortcuts, and I've done some reading around to check. Some OSs may need dconf instead of gconf.
The answer here shows how to change keyboard shortcuts using gconf-editor. You need to select the unwanted shortcut in gnome tweak-tools or gconf-editor and press backspace to clear it.
Alternative methods are given here and here, the questions are on askubuntu, but they're gnome specific questions.

It doesn't work as that's one of the default
gnome-shellshortcuts. Sognome-shellactually grabs it even if you set it to execute some custom action. You'll have to remove it first from the default shortcuts list - easiest way is via terminal withgsettings:alternatively, if you prefer doing it via gui, fire up
dconf-editor:in the left pane, navigate to
org>gnome>shell>keybindingsthen in the right pane right click ontoggle-message-trayand selectcustomize:a new window will pop up: toggle
Use default valueto OFF:then edit the custom value, removing
, '<Super>m'so that it reads:['<Super>v']then hit Apply.Restart your shell with Alt+F2 then r then Enter (or log out & log in). You should then be able to use your custom Super+M shortcut.
