Title:
some keyboard shortcuts cannot be overriden
Status in GNOME Control Center:
Unknown
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
by default "print screen" and "media play" are assigned specific
actions. I can assign these to "custom shortcuts" but then the key
doesn't do anything.
How to reproduce. -- an example to reassign print screen. The same
thing would happen if we reassigned media play instead. I haven't
tested other reassignments.
1) validate that the shortcut key is working by default.
Click print screen. You should see the "Save screenshot" window.
2) reassign a different action to this key.
super-> type "keyboard" -> open the keyboard window -> click on the shortcuts
tab.
click custom shortcut from the left nav in that window -> click the + at the
bottom of the right pane
a dialog asking for the name and command appears.
for name type: screenshot by area
for command type: gnome-screenshot -a
click the "apply" button.
select the the row for the new shortcut just added by clicking on it. This
will higlight the row.
click the word "disabled" on the right side. the words "New Shortcut" will
replace the disabled word
Hit the "Print Screen" key on your keybaord. a window will appear with
the title "The shortcut 'print' is already used for 'take a
screenshot." Click the button reassign in the bottom right.
Close the "keyboard" window.
3) Test the newly assigned key (it will fail)
Hit the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard. That should bring up a
set of cross-hairs to capture a screenshot of a specific area. Instead
it does nothing.
4) Make sure the command works (i.e. that this is a problem with the
shortcut not with the screenshot program)
Alt-F2 -> type "gnome-screenshot -a" and then enter
Notice that your cursor immediately changes to cross hairs and if you
select an area the screenshot window appears.
