GNOME 3 two keyboard shortcuts for the same action
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I would like to have two keyboard shortcuts associated to the same action. Is it possible to use a list of shortcuts for that?
I get a single value/shortcut if I execute:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys volume-down
but, could that be a list? (a pair of shortcuts). I have tried, without success:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys volume-down
"['shortcut_0', 'shortcut_1']"
Executing that command does not throw an error, however, none of the elements in the list end-up working.
Note that I am trying to avoid creating a new "custom shortcut", in which I could specify a command which does the thing that I want (i.e.: lower the volume down), but with a different shortcut. I would like to keep all shortcuts associated to the "official" gsettings.
Using: GNOME 3.20. Although I wouldn't mind an answer if it works in a more recent GNOME version.

No, if you usedconfto alter that key value you'll see it's of typestring(not an array of strings) which means that particular key accepts only a single value.

I don't think they will ever change that since the vast majority of people out there only need one shortcut. Also, keep in mind that custom shortcuts that you add via settings interface are also added to thedconfdatabase (hencegsettings...)
