Hi, I’m using Ubuntu Budgie 20.04 and I love the new Window Shuffler, however the tiling shortcuts (Ctrl+Alt+) are conflicting with the shortcuts of another application I use.
Is it possible to change it to something like: Ctrl+Super+?
See this answer - the window-shuffler files in that folder should be the ones you need to copy and modify

Nah, it didn’t work, but it looks like the right way to do it…
For example, copied and edited one of them to:
~/.local/share/budgie-extras-daemon$ vi windowshuffler-tiling-righthalf-kb.bde
[Daemon]
shortcut=<Control><Super>6
command=/usr/lib/budgie-window-shuffler/tile_active 1 0 2 1
name='tiling-righthalf-kb'
onlyactivate=GSettings org.ubuntubudgie.windowshuffler runshuffler
Restarted the computer but the shortcut still the same (Ctrl+Alt+6)
Tried others shortcuts as well, no luck.
I’ll keep tring.
Odd. Looks ok.
What is the output of
echo $XDG_DATA_HOME
It should be ~/.local/share

It was not set.
Added to my ~/.profile:
export XDG_DATA_HOME="$HOME/.local/share"
Log in/log out
Now it prints /home/ericsantanna/.local/share
But the shortcuts are still the same.
I even tried changing the originals in /usr/share/budgie-extras-daemon/ but still the same.
It’s weird because I haven’t changed much in this installation, so it’s close to a fresh install.
Huh?
If you have changed /usr/share/budgie-extras-daemon logged out and logged in then the shortcuts have to be changed … since it’s not hard coded.
Did you compile budgie extras yourself at some point and accidentally install to /usr/local …?
Aha. It works!
I was always trying with keypad keys. But as I was changing only the “*-kb.dbe” files it was working only with regular numeric keys 0-9.
In summary, we have to change it in two files, for example:
windowshuffler-tiling-righthalf.bde -> Keypad keys
windowshuffler-tiling-righthalf-kb.bde -> Regular keys
Thank you very much for your help.
Sorry for my confusion earlier.
