Not exactly, but you can make your own one based on this example, you will get the general idea: gconftool-2 -t string -s /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/show_desktop "<Mod4>d" gconftool-2 -t string -s /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/panel_main_menu "<Mod4>q" gconftool-2 -t string -s /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/panel_run_dialog "<Mod4>r" gconftool-2 -t string -s /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/switch_to_workspace_left "<Mod4>Left" gconftool-2 -t string -s /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/switch_to_workspace_right "<Mod4>Right" gconftool-2 -t string -s /apps/metacity/window_keybindings/move_to_workspace_left "<Control><Mod4>Left" gconftool-2 -t string -s /apps/metacity/window_keybindings/move_to_workspace_right "<Control><Mod4>Right" gconftool-2 -t string -s /apps/metacity/window_keybindings/toggle_fullscreen "<Mod4>Return" gconftool-2 -t string -s /apps/metacity/window_keybindings/toggle_maximized "<Alt>Return" To get a full list of keys in specific gconf path, use: gconftool-2 -a /apps/metacity/global_keybindings gconftool-2 -a /apps/metacity/window_keybindings Also see `gconf-editor` for simple way to browse gconf database and `gnome-keybinding-properties` for a GUI version of the above process. m. -- Michal Varga, Stonehenge (Gmail account)
