Hi,
I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10 some time ago. And I never had the need to modify the default keyboard shortcuts. But now I work within an Application that makes use of some shortcuts that are already used by Unity/Ubuntu.
I want to disable the following keyboard shortcuts :
1: ALT-F1 (current behaviour: Focus on the Dash starter)
2: ALT-F7 (move window)
3: ALT-F8 (scale window)
4: STRG-ALT-left/right/up/down (workspace switcher)
I found the definition of the shortcuts in the keyboard settings for 2, 3 and 4. Not for 1 though.
Here comes the mystique: When disabling them they get set again after reboot - but only sometimes. Even during a running session it happens that the shortcuts are enabled again.
I tought this is the case, because I used Gnome as DisplayManager before Unity jumped into the default. But I dont know which gnome configuration files I can delete.
I would be very happy if somebody can answer me:
A: how can I disable ALT-F1 keyboard shortcut persistently ?
B: make the disabled keyboard shortcuts persistently disabled ?
Thanks,
detlef
