I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) and am trying to disable the Alt + F1 shortcut as I need it for usage in Pycharm. I have already gone through How can I disable the Alt+F1 / Alt+F2 shortcuts?. But it is not working for me. What am I doing wrong?

The steps I have followed to disable Alt + F1:

  1. I modified in dconf using the following command:

    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings panel-main-menu "[]"

  2. Logged out and logged in. Still Alt + F1 sends the keyboard focus to the Unity panel.

  3. Restarted the machine. Still Alt + F1 sends the keyboard focus to the Unity panel.

  4. Also verified that the configuration is still set using the following command

    gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings panel-main-menu<br><br>*Output*<br>@as []

Environment: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS. And I don't remember switching to Unity 2D. But I think I'm using Unity 2D from this question.

I have the same problem in "Unity 2D" mode in the logon screen (metacity + unity-2d-shell). I tried all "known" stuff (gconf + dconf + gsettings) - it doesn't help.

But if switching to "Unity" mode in the logon screen (compiz + unity-shell) and tweaking in compizconfig-settings-manager- everything works fine!

So if you don't mind switching to "Unity" - then you will be fine :)
