View Full Version : [SOLVED] Tweaking things on Gnome3 as we did with Compiz?

Hi there!
I just upgraded to gnome3 from gnome2.
I'm quite happy with it, but I miss a couple things we could tweak with gnome2 using compiz.
I need to disable hotkeys (like dragging windows by Alt+Mouse Drag) on certain applications, and on the other hand, i'm suffering this bug with fullscreen flash, that keeps browser on top of the video/flash object. I found a thread explaining how to fix this on KDE and Gnome2, but I still can't figure out how to do this on gnome3.
I'm really sorry if this was asked/solved before, but I just can't find the exact keywords to google it!
Can someone lend me a hand here?

-Cheers!
PS: Excuse my english! :D

there's a tool called "gnome-tweak-tool" for making some minor changes to the aparence of gnome-shell, but you can directly edit gnome options executing "gconf". Of course you should know what you are doing before touching any parameter ;)

Yep, I've installed both apps.
The main problem is that I've installed Photoshop on Wine, and it's complicated to use (for example) Alt Key + Mouse Drag to deselect regions.
My main question is, how to disable hotkeys on certain apps?

that's more Photoshop related than Ubuntu (or gnome3) IMO. Have you search on Photoshop preferences, or even on Wine?

I dont like Wine or run Windows apps on it at all, so I've no experience on this stuff

The same Photoshop setup on Win works fine.
This is more a Gnome3 problem, since with Gnome2 (on my old Ubuntu setup) I got it working by disabling global hotkeys on Compiz. Since Compiz is not compatible anymore with Gnome3, I just don't know where to configure this things :(
This global hotkeys, for example, makes Alt+Mouse Drag to move a window..

EDIT:
Fixed!! Found it by Googling "Disable Alt Mouse Modifier". This post showed up: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10659621&postcount=3
Switched "<Alt>" to "<Super>" and now it works properly! :D
