How to remove bound keys created in xbindkeys?

Question

I'm a beginner.

I used xbindkeys program to create a shortcut to my browser. The shortcut is Ctrl+1 a while back. I want to remove this shortcut.

When I look in xbindkeys-config now, there are no shortcuts shown, but the shortcut still works!

I don't know how to find the shortcut, let alone remove it!

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

1. Open a terminal with Ctrl-Alt-T shortcut and use this command to reset the keyboard shortcuts to default

   xbindkeys --defaults > ~/.xbindkeysrc
   

2. Then kill the xbindkeys daemon process with the command:

   killall xbindkeys
   

   and start it again with command

   xbindkeys 
   

Hope this will help.
