    Hi,

    In the Control Center > Keyboard and Langage > Shortcut, you can create custom shortcuts. Where does Deepin save these settings ?

    Take a look for ~/.config/deepin/dde-daemon/keybinding/custom.ini

    Take a look for ~/.config/deepin/dde-daemon/keybinding/custom.ini

    Here's an example of what's in ~/.config/deepin/dde-daemon/keybinding/custom.ini after having created a shortcut.

    1. [32613935-e1b6-4236-9505-fea1e1537d1a]
    2. Name=KeepassX
    3. Action=/usr/bin/keepassx
    4. Accels=K;
    Copy the Code


    What's the long ID number on the first line ?

    Can we create shortcuts by hand in this text file, and if so how to generate the number ?

    It's an random UUID.
    You can get one with the following command:
    cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid

    Not exactly sure what you mean "by hand"...
    but you can add,remove,modify...etc the file through the Keybinding service.

    Remove a custom shortcut using its uuid, e.g
    1. dbus-send --session --dest=com.deepin.daemon.Keybinding --type=method_call --print-reply /com/deepin/daemon/Keybinding com.deepin.daemon.Keybinding.DeleteCustomShortcut string:"ccdb45bf-b319-4385-a470-4b41fe024c3f"
    Copy the Code


    Or add a custom shortcut(the uuid is auto-generated) e.g
    1. dbus-send --session --dest=com.deepin.daemon.Keybinding --type=method_call --print-reply /com/deepin/daemon/Keybinding com.deepin.daemon.Keybinding.AddCustomShortcut string:"Video Player" string:"vlc" string:"V"
    Copy the Code


    The file will be modified...
    If  you want the new entries to be listed in the control-center keyboard shortcut section you might have to restart it.
    1. killall dde-control-center
    Copy the Code


    You can check all the available methods for this service with
    1. gdbus introspect --session --dest com.deepin.daemon.Keybinding --object-path /com/deepin/daemon/Keybinding --recurse
    Copy the Code

    Thanks, this helped me a lot :

    1. dbus-send --session --dest=com.deepin.daemon.Keybinding --type=method_call --print-reply /com/deepin/daemon/Keybinding com.deepin.daemon.Keybinding.AddCustomShortcut string:"Video Player" string:"vlc" string:"V"
    Copy the Code
    Sometimes when I created a shortcut through the Control Center, it wouldn't work and not even show up in the shortcut's list in the CC.

    But when I do it through the command line, for example :

    1. dbus-send --session --dest=com.deepin.daemon.Keybinding --type=method_call --print-reply /com/deepin/daemon/Keybinding com.deepin.daemon.Keybinding.AddCustomShortcut string:"Opera" string:"opera" string:"W"
    Copy the Code
    It gives me an error message with the reason why it doesn't work, the combination is already used (apparently? the message is kind of unclear) :
    1. Error com.deepin.DBus.Error.UnknowError: keystroke have been used
    Copy the Code
    Now I have to find out where my W combination is already used, because I don't see it in "~/.config/deepin/dde-daemon/keybinding/custom.ini" and I don't see it either in "dconf /com/deepin/wrap/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings".

    Is there a way I can know which keybinding is associated with a specific key combination ?

    Hi,
    if you execute the last command from my last reply, i.e:
    1. gdbus introspect --session --dest com.deepin.daemon.Keybinding --object-path /com/deepin/daemon/Keybinding --recurse
    Copy the Code

    you will get a list of available methods for this service. One of them is the method CheckAvaliable which returns the associated keybinding e.g:
    1. dbus-send --session --dest=com.deepin.daemon.Keybinding --type=method_call --print-reply /com/deepin/daemon/Keybinding com.deepin.daemon.Keybinding.CheckAvaliable string:"U"
    Copy the Code

    returns correctly for me (cause i have deepin-system-monitor in that keybinding):
    1. method return time=1512564224.114430 sender=:1.28 -> destination=:1.101 serial=657 reply_serial=2
    2.    boolean false
    3.    string "{"Id":"5cf75711-526b-4b35-bdf0-ab770d8c89ae","Type":1,"Accels":["\u003cControl\u003e\u003cAlt\u003eU"],"Name":"Monitor","Exec":"deepin-system-monitor"}"
    Copy the Code

    The custom shortcuts are not displayed in any of the gsettings schemas.
    You can also display them like this:
    1. dbus-send --session --dest=com.deepin.daemon.Keybinding --type=method_call --print-reply /com/deepin/daemon/Keybinding com.deepin.daemon.Keybinding.ListShortcutsByType int32:1
    Copy the Code
