Exporting/Importing keyboard shortcuts in Linux Mint (Cinnamon)
To check the configuration of Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition we will need the command dconf
, in case it isn’t be installed, use sudo apt-get install dconf-cli
See the current configuration
dconf dump /org/cinnamon/
This will show all the entries under /org/cinnamon/
which means not all the entries will be related the the keyboard shorcuts configuration, you can get specific entries using the complete path in dconf
Exporting the current configuration
dconf dump /org/cinnamon/ > keyboard-shortcuts-conf.txt
In my case, using Linux Mint 17, I get many entries, but in this case we will only need the followings:
[settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys]
terminal='<Super>t'
screensaver='<Super>l'
home='<Super>e'
[settings-daemon/peripherals/keyboard]
numlock-state='on'
[keybindings/custom-keybindings/custom0]
binding='<Super>w'
command='/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable %U'
name='Internet Browser'
[keybindings]
custom-list=['custom0']
[muffin/keybindings]
panel-run-dialog=['<Alt>F2', '<Super>r']
unmaximize=@as []
toggle-fullscreen=['F11', '<Super>f']
toggle-maximized=['<Super>m']
move-to-workspace-left=['<Shift><Super>Left']
move-to-workspace-right=['<Shift><Super>Right']
Importing a configuration form a file
Using the file generated in the previous process keyboard-shortcuts-conf.txt
you can do the following
dconf load /org/cinnamon/ < keyboard-shortcuts-conf.txt
