21.10 Keyboard shortcut ctrl + shift + alt + up settings are not preserved

ru flag

In Ubuntu 21.04, I disabled keyboard shortcuts ctrl+shift+alt+UpArrow and +DownArrow because they conflicted with my IntelliJ keyboard shortcuts.

After upgrading to 21.10, my settings are gone. Also new Settings->Keyboard->Customize Keyboard menu is horrible.

Here is the problem:

  • Open intelJ press ctrl+shift+alt+UpArrow nothing happens
  • Settings->Keyboard->Customize Keyboard
  • Set custom shortcut to ctrl+shift+alt+UpArrow
  • Remove custom shortcut
  • Go back to InteliJ and press ctrl+shift+alt+UpArrow - works as expected
  • Reboot - the problem is back.

What do I need to do to make the shortcuts stick?

I just tried dconf editor to set "org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings move-to-workspace-up" to default and back to changed value and it looks like it is working for now. I'll leave the question open if anyone comes up with an explanation or a better idea.

Just edit this key to set it to a blank value (or a different key) - that is your solution. Feel free to write up as an answer, and accept your own answer. That is fine here!

The solution, in the end, was to use dconf editor to set the key to the default value and then set it back to the expected value.

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.
