How to Configure Gnome Keyboard Shortcuts

There is a strange conflict between keyboard short-cuts and Gnome Environment. We have got many complaints regarding Gnome doesn’t let you bind keyboard shortcuts with the Super (windows key) combination, except the Super key itself (alone). So there is a work around which I want to share.

  • Use the Gnome Configuration Editor
  • Just type in the combination in text. Browse to /apps/metacity/ (there are 4-5 sections).
  • If you don’t have the gconf-editor just yum install it (in fedora):
    yum install gconf-editor
