How to disable Super+p keyboard shortcut?

Applications
#1

So I noticed there’s the Super-p keyboard shortcut that allows me to change the setup of the multiple monitors:

How can I disable it? I never use it and sometimes I press it by mistake when I’m with multiple monitors and it ruins the setup of the location of the screens I can only set via the the settings.

It seems there is no settings for this keyboard shortcut in dconf or in gsettings. Help will be appreciated.

There is:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.mutter.keybindings switch-monitor '[]'

I saw this advice on many places when I searched the internet but it is seems outdated for Gnome 41:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.mutter.keybindings switch-monitor '[]'
No such schema “org.gnome.mutter.keybindings”
$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 41.0

In fact:

$ gsettings list-keys org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings | while read key; do
> gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings "$key"
> done | grep 'Super>p'

Gives an empty output. It seems this keybinding is hard coded?

With Nix, the GSettings schemas are generally not installed globally so a program will only have certain schema available if it depends on it. You should be anble to run the gsettings command within nix-shell -p glib gnome.mutter.

Thanks for joining the discussion @jtojnar :smile: . Unfortunately:

$ nix-shell -p glib gnome.mutter --command 'gsettings get org.gnome.mutter.keybindings switch-monitor'
No such schema “org.gnome.mutter.keybindings”

I do see inside that nix-shell though:

$ env | grep mutter | grep -i gsettings
GSETTINGS_SCHEMAS_PATH=/nix/store/c0w8f0sdvi43j4arg4dhh08fl4bsbhdj-mutter-41.0/share/gsettings-schemas/mutter-41.0

Oh, the schemas only get appended to XDG_DATA_DIRS by wrapGAppsHook so it will not be enough.

$ nix-shell -p glib gnome.mutter --command 'env XDG_DATA_DIRS=$GSETTINGS_SCHEMAS_PATH gsettings get org.gnome.mutter.keybindings switch-monitor'

should work. We should probably make it more ergonomic for nix-shell.

It did, thanks!

Tell me about it :), (RFC 75…). We can also make it part of the default environment of gnome users?
