GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 766472
GNOME lacks an unified default shortcuts setting.
Last modified: 2021-06-09 16:13:45 UTC
Current keyboard shortcuts and their setting is diverse and confusing among GTK based applications, even among GNOME core applications. Such as switching tabs under gnome-terminal/nautilus with Ctrl+PageUp/Down, under gedit with Ctrl+Alt+PageUp/Down. Don't mention famous copy/paste shortcuts under different applications. If implementing an unified default shortcuts setting at GTK toolkit level, it will be possible to providing an unified shortcut experience for all GTK based applications, and this fits well in GNOME's vision on unified experience. Another important missing feature is lacking a place to modify the global setting on modifier key, i.e. preferring Super or Ctrl as modifier.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
