Public bug reported: Scenario: User wants to always change volume 'quietly'. User opens dconf-Editor or similar and finds the keyboard shortcuts.
Expected behaviour: user can assign new keyboard shortcut to 'volume-up-quiet' and 'volume-down-quiet' Actual behaviour: keys are not assignable, but hard-coded to <Alt>XF86AudioRaiseVolume and<Alt>XF86AudioLowerVolume An oft-requested feature is to "stop the pips" when using media keys to change the volume. AskUbuntu has several unresolved questions about this issue. The current solution is to use <Alt>XF86AudioLowerVolume and <Alt>XF86AudioRaiseVolume, but these are hard-coded keybindings. Proposal: Add two new settings_keys: volume-up-quiet and volume-down- quiet, initially assigned as above, but assignable by the user. It then becomes relatively easy to swap the assignment of volume-up/down and volume-up/down-quiet. To my untrained eye, it looks like there would need to be a minor modification to plugins/media-keys/shortcuts-list.h (to add the reference to the settings_keys) and to /data/org.gnome.settings- daemon.plugins.media-keys.gschema.xml.in.in (to set defaults) If I had any real history with C, I'd submit a patch, but I don't, so I'm worried I've missed something vital. ** Affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1633060 Title: Cannot reassign 'volume-quiet' keys shortcuts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1633060/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
