How do I delete a display keyboard shortcut?

Ask Fedora

Hi guys. When I press Super + P, I activate a keyboard shortcut that lets me mirror or join my 2 displays. This is extremely annoying since it’s very similar to a shortcut in a game, and it basically makes the game unplayable until I rearranged my monitors (they have different resolutions and different alignment).

This keyboard shortcut can’t be found through Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts, and it also can’t be found through dconf-editor (org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings).

Can anyone tell me where to find and delete this shortcut? I use the basic GNOME install with Fedora 41.

Does it show up if you run gsettings list-recursively | grep keybindings?

it does:
org.gnome.mutter.keybindings switch-monitor ['<Super>p', 'XF86Display']

Can I just remove the '<Super>p' from it?

I wouldn’t do that. It might make your <Super> key alone trigger the display switch. :slightly_smiling_face: Just looking at the other examples, it looks like you can set it to [] to blank/unset it completely.

Ah, I see, you didn’t have your question “escaped” properly for display on this forum. :slightly_smiling_face: Yeah, set it to the empty set [] and it should go away.
