GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 789334
<super>F1 binding in control center (unhardcode!)
Last modified: 2018-01-25 09:35:46 UTC
In Debian 9, Ubuntu 17.04, 17.10 Gnome 3.22.2 and 3.26.1 I can't change keybinding for <super>F1 It is very common shortcut for me, because I can easily reach in by only left hand while use mouse. It is probably hardcoded after https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764220 Please, delete hardcoded binding and just add default changeable binding in control center. Thank you!
I can bind Super+F1 to some standard actions, that placed at «org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings» (thats a guess, just tried maximize-window) and it works correctly, but if i try to set S+F1 for custom user-created shortcuts and some more, like «launch calculator» (placed at org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys), it doesnt work, instead i got Help opened. That's really confusing. It should be fixed.

We can't change it as it would break a number of laptops. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651571#c29 about a possible way to fix this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 764220 ***
This is not " duplicate of bug 764220 " ! it is opposite of it! Bug 764220 is solved, but behavior, from this bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789334 is still here! And again, if it so important for some laptops, please, add switch, so other can disable this behavior. Why other users should suffer from it? Thank you!
You're right, wrong duplicate bug. bug 651571 is the closest one to this, with an explanation as to how we'd make those keys configurable on hardware that doesn't use those shortcuts. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 651571 ***
It is not looks like duplicate. If bug 651571 ever will solved, I don't sure you will automatically solve this one. I really love Gnome for user-friendly interface and simplicity, and understand what different users want different features and it is too complex to add settinds for each wish... But ... We already have nice feature what rebind keys and it works good. I think hardcode bind of some settings in some cases is a bit overhead. Instead we can just user this as default (changeable) setting, why not? Thanks!
It is a duplicate, the same process to fix bug 651571 would also fix this one. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 651571 ***

And I'm not going to add more configuration when this can be solved without making it configurable. Somebody has to take the lead and start the work on adding metadata about those machines to systemd/hwdb, as mentioned in the duplicate.
Sounds great... but bug 651571 is WONTFIX... Should I change it status? How somebody will fix it of bug mark as resolved?
* if bug mark as resolved?
And in addition. Ok, then, maybe somebody will implement the vendor-specific solution. If I own mentioned laptop, why can't I change keybindings? What if I don't need to user vendor-specific hardware buttons?
Here you go. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 792892 ***
Thank you!
