GNOME keyboard shortcuts settings incomplete

[jluttine]

Issue description

In GNOME keyboard shortcut settings, the list of categories based on https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/keyboard-shortcuts-set.html.en and on my own experience with GNOME on other distros should be:

• Launchers
• Navigation
• Screenshots
• Sound and Media
• System
• Typing
• Universal Access
• Windows

However, only the following categories are available:

• Launchers
• Screenshots
• Sound and Media
• System
• Typing
• Universal Access

So I'm missing Navigation and Windows.

Steps to reproduce

Install gnome package and use GNOME. Open keyboard settings (press Super, type "keyboard", choose Keyboard). See the list of categories on the left panel.

Technical details

• System: (NixOS: nixos-version, Ubuntu/Fedora: lsb_release -a, ...)

$ nixos-version
17.03pre92039.adfcc2d (Gorilla)

• Nix version: (run nix-env --version)

$ nix-env --version
nix-env (Nix) 1.11.4

• Nixpkgs version: (run nix-instantiate --eval '<nixpkgs>' -A lib.nixpkgsVersion)

$ nix-instantiate --eval '<nixpkgs>' -A lib.nixpkgsVersion
"17.03pre92039.adfcc2d"

I am affected too. Moreover Super + L doesn't lock the screen.

Moreover Super + L doesn't lock the screen.

I got that, too. Seems like that might be due to not using GDM.

Another possible source of Super+L not working (if you're using GDM): #21439 (comment)

Apparently the Control Center derivation only provides some keybindings:

$ ls $(nix-build -A gnome3.gnome_control_center)/share/gnome-control-center/keybindings
00-multimedia.xml
01-input-sources.xml
01-launchers.xml
01-screenshot.xml
01-system.xml
50-accessibility.xml

the others are part of other packages like GNOME Shell $(nix-build -A gnome3.gnome_control_center)/share/gnome-control-center/keybindings/50-gnome-shell-system.xml or GPaste.

The Control Center loads the bindings here, basically using XDG_DATA_DIRS to locate them. But even explicitly passing the path env XDG_DATA_DIRS="$(nix-build -A gnome3.gnome_shell)/share" gnome-control-center keyboard does not make the Windows section appear – though, strace confirms the file being read.

Edit: Nevermind, it looks like the navigation and windows keybindings come from mutter.

@jtojnar Hey, have you somehow managed to get it to work using XDG_DATA_DIRS? (Not quite sure how to interpret your edit).

I tried messing around with that but so far I’ve only been able to break gnome-control-center:

(gnome-control-center:7609): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 20:54:08.687: Settings schema 'org.gnome.shell.keybindings' is not installed

Trace/breakpoint trap

[jtojnar]

Try XDG_DATA_DIRS="$(nix-build -A gnome3.mutter)/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS" gnome-control-center keyboard. The error you are seeing is caused by missing GNOME shell SCHEMAS, which will most likely be in the current variable.

[cocreature]

It looks like the error I was seeing was related to fish shell not having XDG_DATA_DIRS setup properly and gnome-control-center keyboard was failing even if I didn’t attempt to change anything. I switched to bash and that particular problem disappeared, however I am now getting a different error message:

> XDG_DATA_DIRS=$(nix-build -A gnome3.mutter '<nixpkgs>')/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS gnome-control-center keyboard

(gnome-control-center:1889): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 19:26:41.468: Settings schema 'org.gnome.mutter.wayland.keybindings' is not installed

Trace/breakpoint trap

However, this schema seems to exist in mutter, so I sadly have no idea what is going on here:

> cat $(nix-build -A gnome3.mutter '<nixpkgs>')/share/gnome-control-center/keybindings/50-mutter-wayland.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<KeyListEntries schema="org.gnome.mutter.wayland.keybindings"
                group="system"
                name="System"
                wm_name="Mutter"
                package="mutter">

	<KeyListEntry name="restore-shortcuts" description="Restore the keyboard shortcuts"/>

</KeyListEntries>

[jtojnar]

Right, for that you also need to add share/gsettings/mutter-3.28.0 or something like that.

@jtojnar Thanks a ton! I finally got it to work using that!

[glasserc]

I was able to get it to work using env XDG_DATA_DIRS=(nix-build -A gnome3.mutter '<nixpkgs>')/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS gnome-control-center keyboard.

The mutter keybindings are not available in control center in NixOS when services.xserver.desktopManager.gnome3.enable = true. Explicitly adding mutter to environment.systemPackages fixes it.

Should mutter perhaps be added to gnome3.corePackages?

[jtojnar]

I think adding it to dependencies of g-c-c is more in line with Nix. We can do it after we merge 3.32.
