Since I have this problem which is described here. And since the only solution I have for now is to click the "Switch Account" option from the login screen in order to log into my session without getting the "Password incorrect" error then I'm looking for a way to assign a shortcut key to this option, is that possible?

Edit #1: Once I created the keyboard shortcut, how can I assign a key mapping to it? As it says in the bottom of the window, I clicked the switch-account row but when I do a key sequence nothing happens: enter image description here

Yes.

Go to System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Custom Shorcuts, then add a new one. In the "what command to be executed" line, type:

dm-tool switch-to-greeter

And then assign your chosen keypresses to it.

  • Are you sure you are clicking on the assign keys area? (i.e. Where the Alt+Super+- is in this image: i.stack.imgur.com/kh7Ex.png) Also, you have to have a modifier key (or multiple), and then one normal key.

  • When I'm in the custom shortcut window I click the line with the new shortcut (right click or left click acts the same) I've created and it pops up the command window, and it keeps saying "Disabled" where the key sequence supposed to be, any ideas?
