By configuring and running bbkeys I was able to define all my favourite keyboard shortcuts for manipulating windows and starting applications in one place, and then use them from any window manager. (Albeit only generic actions, not those strongly integrated with the WM.)

But now bbkeys is no longer packaged for Ubuntu. So I have to define separate configurations for each window manager.

Is there any alternative to bbkeys?

Or is there any software that can manage configuration for multiple window managers all in one place?

One very convenient alternative that you can use is . . . drum-roll . . . unity-settings-daemon and/or gnome-settings-daemon if you have gnome installed. Personally, I use blackbox and openbox time to time. But I have quite a few convenient shortcuts set in Unity's settings, which some of them are linked to scripts. By setting gnome-settings-daemon to autostart , I get those back in other environments. Big kicker is that it's a native tool to Ubuntu, it comes with unity-settings-daemon or if you have gnome shell , it comes with gnome-settings-daemon

In addition, you can use gsettings to change settings, such as background picture , or a big one for me - input language.
