Due to a graphics card compatibility issue using CrunchBang, I was told that my best option would be to move to 12.04 LTS. I'm trying to get everything configured and personalized the way I'm used to things, but am having some issues with unbinding default Unity shortcuts.

I'm used to having all my shortcuts routed through the super key (T for Terminal, W for Web, Up for increased opacity, and so on). I've followed instructions to install compizconfig-settings-manager, and did an advanced search for all keyboard shortcuts binding to the super key, including the Unity shortcuts, but Unity still seems to listen for that keypress, and thus neither compiz nor the keybindings set up in system prefs -> keyboard receive the commands I give them.

(I did try also to simply change the unity launcher key instead of disabling it as shown below -- neither worked)

I've told Unity to chill, but it won't.

I have a similar issue, but I can't actually bind this button, as it keeps auto switching to disabled. – DavidYell Mar 21 at 13:49

Believe Unsettings will let you do that. 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:diesch/testing
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unsettings

That did not have any keybinding settings at all. It also read all of the settings i already had in compiz, showing that the compiz settings are certainly being saved and read from somewhere. – Tom Thorogood Jun 10 '12 at 16:21
Hmm, I used tweak tools for unity 2d and I think it had one. They're similar programs. Sorry you went through all the effort. – Chris Jun 10 '12 at 16:24

This worked for me on Ubuntu 12.04 precise, without Compiz.

In dconf-editor: con → canonical → unity-2d → launcher and untick the 'super-key-enable' option.

The problem with your answer is that it deals with Unity-2D and the question is about Unity 3D. – RolandiXor♦ Sep 22 '12 at 2:54
