[MINT 16] Unable to disable shortcuts

[pizzaefiki]

I have this situation: I have disabled the "switch to workspace N" (che ctrl + alt + arrow) in the Keyboard settings but they are still working.
Do you know why?

Tnx.

what do you mean by "switch to workspace N" is N is a number here, like 1, 2,3? in that case they are generally disabled by default. it' the option which says "switch to left workspace" and "switch to right workspace" who are responsible to that behavior.

Sorry, I meant "switch to right/left workspace". I disabled them now but I can still use those shortcuts. Basically I want to disable them so that I can use the shortcuts on Intellij Idea.

how you disabled them? they can't be disabled simply. you must need to asssign other valid key bindings to them to release your ctrl+alt+arrow key binding...

I have disabled the "switch to workspace N" ... in the Keyboard settings

Perhaps also check under 'Desktop Settings' - not 100% sure about Cinnamon, but in Xfce some keys are defined there rather than or in addition to the 'Keyboard Settings' dialog.

not true, just click on the shortcut and then backspace and they become disabled, apparently, because they're not.

I do not have that menu item on Cinnamon.

you need to assign other valid key bindings to them to release your ctrl+alt+arrow key binding... try it.....you will see the result....
you can't just disable them by entering a backspace.....that won't work on this two.

Here's the situation now. It's still considering ctrl + alt + arrow:

hey pizzaefiki, what are you doing with the gnome keyboard settings in cinnamon? go to preference->System settings->keyboard , this is the keyboard settings for cinnamon, not the one which you may have found in preference->keyboard...


this is what the cinnamon keyboard settings look like in mint 16:

Greetings!

I am having the same problem. I am using Mint 17, but looking at the same dialog as above. When I use the "backspace to delete," the dialog says it is "unassigned" but the keyboard shortcut still works. For example, I am trying to disable "Move Window" (Alt-F7) but even after disabling, Alt-F7 still performs move window.

Thanks for any help,
