GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 731933
Disable all shortcuts at once
Last modified: 2014-08-21 17:30:00 UTC
From a downstream feature request: Would be nice if there was a checkbox that disabled all shortcuts so that I could turn them all off at once, but then turn them all back on without having to delete them all and recreate them. Another option would be to have the profiles support shortcuts, so I could have a profile with "no-shortcuts." Sometimes you need to actually use the keys that the shortcuts are bound to as their actual selves but you don't want to kill the shortcuts forever, this is very difficult in the current design.
Sure. Since g-t is using GtkApplication accelerators, would IMHO be best to make that a GtkApplication property ('enable-accelerators' or so).
Doesn't g_object_set (gtk_settings_get_default (), "gtk-enable-accels", FALSE, NULL); already do just that ?

Comment on attachment 283054 [details] [review] Allow disabling shortcuts Looks fine. The only think missing is IMHO that this should also set the shortcut editor widget insensitive in the prefs dialogue when enabled.
Err, when shortcuts are DISabled.

New version does disable editing shortcuts when shortcuts are disabled. I've also moved the check button to the shortcuts tab, to make it more obvious why editing does not work.
