Linux Mint 17: How do I switch key bindings from the command line?

Question

I changed the key binding switch-to-workspace-1 via Keyboard > Keyboard shortcuts > Workspace Management.

Is it also possible to this via the console? Vecause when I use the command

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-1`<br/>`@as []

I had expected something like @as [Alt+1]. How do I use the console to change the key bindings?

Answer 1

You are almost there. The syntax is

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-1 "['<Alt>1']"

I have this from my scratchpad, but I'll look for online reference and edit it in later.

EDIT: The Ubuntu Wiki says something similiar: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Keybindings
