Gnome shortcuts not working any more [Solved]

Postby udiljak » Fri Jul 27, 2012 11:07

Hi everybody.

After the last update my user-definded gnome shortcuts are not working any more. Extremely anoying is the lack of my shortcuts for workspace switching. Can anyone help?

If I open "Settings->Keyboard->Shortcuts" my changes have no effect.

Thanks for an answer!

Hi,
I found some stuff and I think you can somehow repair it. But since Gnome seems to become worse and worse I'll rather change to another window manager that doesn't change all the time.

Good luck!

Hi.

Finally I decided to give it one more try with Gnome 3.

You can get most of the Gnome 2 stuff you liked back with the following articles

Very nice script for deactivation of dynamic workspaces and assigning shortcuts for swtiching to every workspace:

Gegaining control over the "Super" (Windows) - Key:

And here is the great idea to use the taskbar "tint2":

Configuration is pretty easy to increase the font size, etc.

For starting the taskbar (or other applications) on login just run:
gnome-session-properties

Greets,
