Hi,

I use a large number of custom keyboard shortcuts in my Mate desktop. I want to back them up, and restore them when I install Triquel on my other computers. How to do that?

Hello Abhiseck,
Try using (find answers) AI, it answers much faster))

Of course, you need to choose the right product, do a little work, since Ai writes a lot of inaccurate information, but it will still be faster than waiting several days for an answer here.

Example answer Ai.

bash

# desktop shortcuts (custom and modified)
dconf dump /org/mate/desktop/keybindings/ > ~/mate-desktop-keybindings.conf

# window‑manager shortcuts (Marco)
dconf dump /org/mate/marco/window-keybindings/ > ~/mate-marco-keybindings.conf

Restore on a new installation

bash

# desktop shortcuts
cat ~/mate-desktop-keybindings.conf | dconf load /org/mate/desktop/keybindings/

# Marco window shortcuts
cat ~/mate-marco-keybindings.conf | dconf load /org/mate/marco/window-keybindings/

Thank you for the response. Thanks to this I realized I can change some more keybindings from the dconf editor which were not exposed to Control Center > Keyboard shortcuts. Of course, now I also know how to back them up.

Currently, all of the popular LLMs are unreleased software, that is, they are Service as Software Substitute (SaSS) so I avoid them. I don't mind waiting couple of days for answers by human experts.
