Gsettings and dconf
Hello
I need to set a hotkey in ubuntu 12.10, I use:
gsettings(dconf)
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom2/ binding '<Primary><Alt>s'<br>
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom2/ binding '<Primary><Alt>s'<br>
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom2/ command 'gnome-terminal'
But when I look at this schema with gsettings I just see:
gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys custom-keybindings
@as []
But when I use dconf to see this schema:
dconf list /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom2/
binding
command
What am I doing wrong?
Use these commands:
dconf read /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom2/name
dconf read /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom2/binding
dconf read /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom2/command
First try creating custom2
:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys custom-keybindings "['others', '/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom2/']"
(Where others
is a shorthand for the other key bindings already defined. Just to be sure you don't delete them.)
Now that is out of way, configure your custom2
:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom2/ binding '<Primary><Alt>s'
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom2/ command 'gnome-terminal'
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom2/ name 'Open a terminal window'
