The shortcuts are defined in the source code of metacity. See http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/metacity/src/prefs.c?view=markup See towards the end of the file (around %60) or search for any of the strings from static MetaSimpleKeyMapping screen_string_bindings[] = { { META_KEYBINDING_WORKSPACE_LEFT, "<Control><Alt>Left" }, { META_KEYBINDING_WORKSPACE_RIGHT, "<Control><Alt>Right" }, You may also find useful the file http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/metacity/src/metacity.schemas.in?view=markup Simos > > > Hmm, I'm wondering what logic a user could find to > > this : as I > > understand it, the Keyboard Shortcuts preference > > tool configures > > shortcuts monitored by Metacity - all other > > shortcuts are managed by > > individual apps whose shortcuts (or at least some of > > them) are > > configured by using the "editable menu accelerators" > > from the Menu and > > Toolbar preference tool (btw, I'm no great fan of > > this system). > > Neither am I. > It allows the user to break consistency across apps. > If you change the shortcut for Copy, then it should > remain consistent across the whole desktop. > > GNOME is full of these little problems that reflect a > lack of coherence.
