Is there a fast way to open the Gnome Shell user menu (top right) using the keyboard? I would like to easily access sound, wifi, bt, ... options with my keyboard.

I know I can open it with Ctrl+Alt+Tab, Right, Right, Right, Space, but that's very slow.

To implement a quick shortcut key to open the Gnome Shell user menu, assign following command to a shortcut combination:

gdbus call -e -d org.gnome.Shell -o /org/gnome/Shell -m org.gnome.Shell.Eval string:'Main.panel.statusArea.aggregateMenu.menu.toggle();'

  • This doesn't work on Gnome shell v41 and up because it restricts usage of Eval. You may use the workaround provided in the following answer: https://askubuntu.com/a/1428946/934457 – vctls Sep 16 '22 at 11:29
