Super+number key combos can't be overriden in GNOME 3.32
In GNOME 3.30 and older, Super+number
combos were not bound to anything by default, and I used them to switch to workspaces (so Super+1
to switch to workspace 1, Super+2
to switch to workspace 2, etc). In GNOME 3.32, these combos are bound to start or focus a favorite application number X from GNOME overview (so Super+1
starts/focuses the first favorite app, Super+2
the second one, etc). These shortcuts are not configurable (at least I haven't found a place to change/disable them). The problem is that you can override them in control-center and assign desktop switching to them, but that works only until gnome-shell is restarted (or perhaps there's a race condition, either way it doesn't work reliably).
So here's my request. Please make sure that if the user overrides these combos using control-center, they override the defaults correctly and the new combos work properly. Thank you.
Reproducer:
- Use
Super+1/2/3/4
to start favorite app X - Use control-center and set
Switch to workspace X
toSuper+X
combo - Try
Super+1/2/3/4
, they switch workspaces (with the exception of the last free workspace, that can't be switched to, and instead a favorite app launches) - Restart gnome-shell (
r
, or re-log) - Try
Super+1/2/3/4
, they no longer switch workspaces, but again launch favorite app X
