But the further check still cannot reveal any clues: werner@X10DAi:~$ gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings |grep -i 'con' org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings cycle-panels ['<Control><Alt>Escape'] org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings cycle-panels-backward ['<Shift><Control><Alt>Escape'] org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings move-to-workspace-down ['<Control><Shift><Alt>Down'] org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings move-to-workspace-left ['<Super><Shift>Page_Up', '<Super><Shift><Alt>Left', '<Control><Shift><Alt>Left'] org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings move-to-workspace-right ['<Super><Shift>Page_Down', '<Super><Shift><Alt>Right', '<Control><Shift><Alt>Right'] org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings move-to-workspace-up ['<Control><Shift><Alt>Up'] org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-panels ['<Control><Alt>Tab'] org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-panels-backward ['<Shift><Control><Alt>Tab'] org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-down ['<Control><Alt>Down'] org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-left ['<Super>Page_Up', '<Super><Alt>Left', '<Control><Alt>Left'] org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-right ['<Super>Page_Down', '<Super><Alt>Right', '<Control><Alt>Right'] org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-up ['<Control><Alt>Up'] As you can see, there is no key binding corresponding to `Ctrl + ;`. > > Well, I've customized my compositor (sway) to only have bindings > > What's sway? > > > starting with Mod4 (Super, the key with the windows label) so that emacs > > can use up all Ctrl/Alt bindings. > > > > Bye, > > Tassilo > > Best, Zhao
