GNOME Deskbar keybinding values

Deskbar’s keyboard shortcut can be set using gconf-editor (the key is “/apps/deskbar/keybinding”) or by right-clicking on it in the panel and selecting “Preferences”. In either case, you set it by typing in a text string. It will usually following the pattern “<Modifier>keyname”, where possible values for “Modifier” and “keyname” are:

  • Modifiers: must be opened with “<” and closed with “>”. These are case insensitive.
    • Alt
    • Control or Ctrl or Ctl
    • Shift or Shft
    • Meta
    • Super
    • Hyper
    • Release
    • Mod1
    • Mod2
    • Mod3
    • Mod4
    • Mod5
  • Keynames: values can be found in the gdk/gdkkeysyms.h file. Take the value listed in the file and remove the “GDK_”. These are case sensitive.

Example: “≤Control>space” for a Quicksilver-like shortcut.
