GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 688455
Alt+F5 should not be associate with restore windows command
Last modified: 2021-06-09 16:07:15 UTC
Pressing Alt+F5 restores the windows size, although it is nowhere associated with this command in control panel. Restore window is associated with Super+Down in reality. Moreover, no matter what other command I associate with Alt+F5, it is always doing just restore. Could you please release the binding of Alt+F5 and allow its custom association. $ rpm -qf `which gnome-control-center` control-center-3.6.3-1.fc18.x86_64
mutter has extra keybindings that aren't exposed in the control-center shell, alt+F5 looks like it's one of them: $ gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings | grep F5 org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings unmaximize ['<Super>Down', '<Alt>F5'] Florian?
(In reply to comment #1) > mutter has extra keybindings that aren't exposed in the control-center shell, > alt+F5 looks like it's one of them Yup, when we started to change default keybindings, we made use of the multiple-bindings-per-action feature to avoid disruption for users of the existing shortcuts. While it would be nice IMO to eventually expose the feature in the UI, we should at least include additional bindings in the duplicate check and allow users to overwrite them. I'll try to find some time later today to take a look
Just to let me understand, Alt+F5 is old key binding, while the Super+Down is the new one, but you don't have currently way how to display more then one association? I'm just wondering, because I am pretty sure that I was able to remove Alt+F5 association in previous versions of Gnome. Thank you.
Yes, that's right. Control center currently ignores any bindings except for the first one - we should change that to only ignore them for display I guess, but still take them into consideration otherwise. If you want to unset the existing binding without waiting for this bug to be fixed, you can use "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings unmaximize '["<Super>Down"]'".
Its the other way around ... I am fine with Super+Down and that is displayed, but I want to get rid of Alt+F5. But I guess I can handle it now. The workaround solution might be also to show secondary key binding, when the primary is deleted. May be if I would restart the control panel in between, it could get displayed, since there would be only one option?

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.
