Remove duplicate hotkey / keyboard shortcut binding to switch between workspaces

General Help

Hello!

Zorin OS has workspaces support and one can easily switch between these workspaces using SUPER+ALT+LEFT/RIGHT hot key. This hotkey is also mentioned in the Keyboard Shortcuts under settings.

So far so good.

However, another hotkey / keyboard shortcut CTRL+ALT+LEFT/RIGHT does exactly the same thing!

Now, the issue is that this hotkey - CTRL+ALT+LEFT/RIGHT is used in many of my applications for dedicated functions. And they are very useful. However, as this key is configured for the Zorin OS, it supersedes everything and those application specific shortcuts do not work.

This hotkey is also not mentioned in the settings app under the "Keyboard Shortcuts" section.

How do I remove this hotkey binding? Couldn't find it anywhere in the Zorin help documentation.

Summary:

Issue: Switch Workspace has two hotkeys by default in Zorin OS
Objective: Remove CTRL+ALT+LEFT/RIGHT hotkey from Zorin and only keep SUPER+ALT+LEFT/RIGHT hotkey to switch between workspaces.
Outcome: CTRL+ALT+LEFT/RIGHT should be available to set as a hotkey for other functions in Zorin OS or even in other applications for application-specific tasks.

To remove the CTRL+ALT+LEFT/RIGHT hotkey from Zorin and only keep the SUPER+ALT+LEFT/RIGHT hotkey to switch between workspaces, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open System Settings :
  • Go to System Settings > Keyboard > View and Customize Shortcuts > Navigation .
  1. Locate the Workspace Navigation Shortcuts :
  • Find the entries for Move to workspace on the left and Move to workspace on the right .
  1. Re-assign the Shortcuts :
  • Click on Move to workspace on the left and re-assign it to SUPER+ALT+LEFT .
  • Click on Move to workspace on the right and re-assign it to SUPER+ALT+RIGHT .
  1. Remove the CTRL+ALT+LEFT/RIGHT Shortcuts :
  • If the above steps do not allow you to remove the CTRL+ALT+LEFT/RIGHT shortcuts, you can use the command line to remove them:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-left "['<Super><Alt>Left']"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-right "['<Super><Alt>Right']"

These commands will set the SUPER+ALT+LEFT and SUPER+ALT+RIGHT shortcuts for switching workspaces and remove the CTRL+ALT+LEFT/RIGHT shortcuts.

By following these steps, you should be able to configure your Zorin system to use only the SUPER+ALT+LEFT/RIGHT hotkeys for workspace navigation."
