I am not a new Linux user but I am new to Gnome which is the preferred WM at work so I'm trying to get it to work they way I prefer.
The primary issue is that I want to have key-bindings of Super+1
, Super+2
, etc..
to switch between windows. I have made this work this with the following commands which generally work great.
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-to-workspace-1 "['<Super>1']"
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-to-workspace-2 "['<Super>2']"
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-to-workspace-3 "['<Super>3']"
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-to-workspace-4 "['<Super>4']"
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-to-workspace-5 "['<Super>5']"
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-to-workspace-6 "['<Super>6']"
However throughout my day sometimes Gnome overwrites these and suddenly Super+2
will load Thunderbird or take to me the window where Thunderbird is running. I can't find how to disable this behaviour and it's becoming infuriating. Rerunning the dconf
commands do not fix it. Can anyone know how I can fix this?
