I want to set umlauts keyboard shortcuts in ubuntu 20.04. I tried the following without success.

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys custom-keybindings "['/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom/']"
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom/ name 'ä'
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom/ command 'xdotool key adiaeresis'
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom/ binding '<Alt>a'

If I try the command `xdotool key adiaeresis' in the terminal it results in the desired letter ä. Switchting the command to open a program the keyboard shortcuts works. I think the problem lies in the combination gsettings and xdotools.

Any help is very appreciated!

Thanks, Johannes!
