GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 703977
Default keybindings cannot be replaced
Last modified: 2014-12-29 02:37:22 UTC
With Fedora 19 and GNOME 3.8 (metacity 2.34.13), when I replace the maximize keybinding or remove it altogether, Alt+F10 still maximizes the window. When I use that combination in a custom keybinding to launch a terminal, it doesn't work. This is a regression from GNOME 3.4 in Fedora 18. I search dconf-tool and found no reference F10 anywhere other than my gnome-terminal keybinding. The wm keybindings reflected what I had entered via the Keyboard Shortcuts GUI. Happy to provide more detail, just let me know what's needed.
If you use GNOME 3.8 I really wonder how you manage to use metacity. Could you elaborate?
Ah right, that's changed to mutter now? Apologies. Recategorizing the bug to the right product and my version of mutter is 3.8.3.
This is likely a duplicate of bug 673078 - by default, "maximize" has two keybindings ("<super>Up" + "<alt>F10"), but only the first one is exposed in System Settings. So changing/removing the first one will still leave the second one around.
I'd agree, I'll add a comment to Bug 673078.
Uhm, testing a quick patch for bug 67078 I noticed that I was actually wrong in comment #3 - by default, we only have a single shortcut for 'maximize', which is '<super>Up'; however, we still assign '<alt>F10' to the 'toggle-maximize' shortcut, which you should find in the same section in Settings.
