Custom Keyboard Shortcut not Allowed
Last modified: 2016-04-14 19:18:38 UTC
I tried to create a custom keyboard shortcut to open a specific file with emacs. The shortcut associated with it is '<Super>o'. I was unable to set it under Gnome with Wayland, so I switched over to using X and was able to set it. However, it still did not work. The fact that I could not set the binding as '<Super>o' leads me to believe that it is already a keybinding for something. If this were the case, then how could I set it under X? I was able to get this working with other bindings, such as '<Control><Alt><o>' and '<Super><Shift>o' Commands and their outputs are below: [~] gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys custom-keybindings ['/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/', '/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom1/', '/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom2/', '/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom3/', '/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom4/'] [~] gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom4/ binding '<Primary><Alt>o' [~] gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom4/ command 'emacs ~/todo.org' [~] gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom4/ name 'Launch ToDo' [~] gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom4/ binding '<Super>o' (still did not work at this point) [~] gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom4/ binding '<Super>o' [~] gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom4/ binding '<Super><Shift>o' (worked with this combination) [~] /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon -r --debug zsh: no such file or directory: /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon Thanks, Preston
