How to disable the super+S shortcut on Unity?

cn flag
E.P.

I am running Ubuntu Unity 20.04, and I would like to fiddle a bit with the keyboard shortcuts so that they match my other machine (a Windows 10 laptop). Specifically, I would like, as an endgoal, to have:

  • The Workspace Switcher (a.k.a. workspace Expo) on Super+Tab
  • Screenshot-of-an-area (via Flameshot) on Super+Shift+S

This requires some doing, since the Workspace Switcher is set up by default on Super+S, which conflicts with the latter.

As a start for this, the Expo key can be reassigned:

  • Via Unity Tweak Tool, on Workspace Settings and then altering the listing of Workspace shortcut for Start workspace switcher. (However, this does not work for the specific keybinding Super+Tab, for reasons I do not understand.)
  • Via CompizConfig Settings Manager, on Desktop > Expo, using the setter for Expo Key.

CCSM complains that Super+Tab is already assigned (to something called "start the Launcher Application Switcher" (?)), and this pre-existing binding can be removed by going on CCSM to Desktop > Ubuntu Unity Plugin > Launcher.

Which brings me to my question. I've already set up the mapping, and Super+Tab successfully brings up the Workspace Switcher view. However, the Super+S shortcut still has not been cleared! as in, it still brings up the Workspace Switcher view (in addition to Super+Tab).

How can I completely clear this key mapping?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
