Gnome keyboard shortcuts on a Mac keyboard

Posted

Open GNOME Tweaks → Keyboard & Mouse → Additional Layout Options

Expand Alt/Win behavior and select:

“Left Win is Left Alt, Left Alt is Left Win” —- Had to change a few of the keyboard shortcuts in Gnome Settings
  • Navigation
    • Switch applications: ctrl+tab
    • Switch windows of an app directly: alt+tab
  • Screenshots
    • Take a screenshot interactively: shift+ctrl+4
  • Windows
    • Maximize window: ctrl+up
    • View split on left: ctrl+left
    • View split on right: ctrl+right

Then to get the super key to work for getting gnome to show the app dashboard (or whatever it’s called):

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter overlay-key ‘Control_L’

Currently everything seems to be working same as Mac.

Cycle apps
Quit app/window
Firefox: new/close tab; zoom in/out
Select all, copy, paste
