I installed Cinnamon on Ubunt 12.04 using:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cinnamon

Now I am looking for a way to disable the keyboard shortcuts Alt + F7 (move window) and Alt + F8 (resize windows).

I already disabled those key bindings under Keyboard → Shortcuts. This doesn't have any effect.

I did not find them in gconf-editor under Apps → Muffin.

I already tried to disable them under Apps → Metacity → global_keybindings and window_keybindings which has no effect (although I thought Cinnamon uses Muffin and not Metacity).

How can I remove, edit, and disable those key bindings?

  • I'm running into the exact same problem. I've searched for 'F7' with the gconf-editor, but found nothing. I couldn't find anything in the dconf-editor, but that doesn't have a search function so I may have missed something.

To answer my own question. It seems that in the current version of Cinnamon, you have a "Cinnamon Settings" menu entry. There you can adjust/disable the keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts can be found in gconf-editor, under apps > metacity > global_keybindings and window_keybindings.

  • I had those disabled as well. I thought metacity had no effect since cinnamon uses muffin so I didn't mention that in the question.

  • Even a full reboot of my system did not help. It seems the bindings are stored elsewhere
