# 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: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bot-comment bug gnome shortcuts -- Shortcut settings doesn't work as expected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1809933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
