Re: [orca-list] umai: Automate Ubuntu Mate accessibility tweaks



I didn't find it very easy at all to set shortcut keys via a script using MATE's or GNOME's shortcut key mechanism, although it should be possible to do it using gsettings if you know how a keyboard setting shortcut should look and the schema and key it belongs to. An easier way to set shortcut keys may be to install xbindkeys, write the shortcut definitions into one or more configuration files and add

xbindkeys -f /path/to/xbindkeys/config

to the startup applications. You can do this as many times as you like, or just use a single file for all your xbindkeys shortcuts. In either case, you can easily write the file(s) from scratch within your script. Xbindkeys is especially useful on multi-desktop systems, as it works on every desktop environment. I will freely admit that this is rather unconventional, but it definitely gets the job done. I hope it helps that part of your script.
