Re: Mate Upstream Keyboard Shortcuts Unbound in Debian
Hi,
>From the bug you sent, I was able to determine where the keyboard shortcuts are being overridden in Debian. See https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-mate/mate-desktop-environment.git/tree/debian/10_mate-common.gschema.override.
Looking at that file, we can see this. switch-windows-all='<Control><Alt>Tab'
On a ifferent Linux distrobution that is using vanilla mate, we can see this through gsettings.
gsettings get org.mate.Marco.global-keybindings switch-windows-all
'disabled'
gsettings get org.mate.Marco.global-keybindings switch-panels
'<Control><Alt>Tab'
So it appears Debian is reassigning the keyboard shortcut Control+Alt+Tab from switch-panels to switch-windows-all. This is in the master branch of packaging so I don't think there is a change for this in Sid. I know that we have some Debian Mate maintainers that are also upstream Mate developers so maybe if this is desired for some reason, it could be pushed upstream instead. I just think it helps everyone's sanity if we can keep keyboard shortcuts consistant across distrobutions if possible.

I was not sure if this was done for some reason or if this might be a bug? It seems bound in other Linux's but maybe it conflicts with something I am not aware of in Debian. I tried to look around a bit but couldn't find anyone speaking about this in previous discussions.
