Shell: Reassign Direction Keys

Created on 7 May 2020  路  2Comments  路  Source: pop-os/shell

Hello pop-people !

As user of the B脡PO keyboard layout (dvorak-like layout, for French language) and VIM, I would like to be able to move the focus on windows with the keys C, T, S and R. However, it seems that these shortcuts are taking care off from the extension itself (as I did not find these entries inside Gnome Shortcuts).

Would it be possible to reassign the direction keys on other keys than H, J, K and L ?

Thanks and great work on this extension !

You can reassign the shortcuts in Keyboard Settings in Pop!_OS. For other Linux distributions, you will have to modify the keys with gsettings

Settings -> Keyboard shortcuts on Pop OS 20.04 does not contain the super-HJKL shortcuts, so they are not modifiable. For example, I have set "Lock screen" to Super+L in that settings page, yet Pop OS still treats that Super-L key combo as Super+Right Arrow and switches windows instead of locking my screen. I cannot find a "Keyboard Settings" in Pop OS, only "Keyboard shortcuts". (using standard US keyboard layout)
