Compiz: Shift Switcher Plugin problem [SOLVED]

[theYinYeti]

I'd like to try the Shift Switcher plugin from Compiz. I did and it works, so I wanted to change the bindings to use Alt+Tab instead of Super+Tab.

I wasn't able to type any combination with Tab inside, so (big error) I tried another random key: %.

Here's the situation now:

- When Shift Switcher plugin is enabled, I cannot type %, or whatever other random key I use instead.

- I'm not able to change this binding to Alt+Tab.

- I'm not able to revert this binding to Super+Tab.

- Unlike many other plugins', Shift Switcher preferences are NOT in gconf-editor.

 

So my question is:

Where are this plugin's preferences stored?

I'm currently running "grep -rinF super+tab ~/.[a-zA-Z]*", without success so far...

SOLVED: It is in ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig/Default.ini

Changes to this file seem to be immediately taken into account.

 

Only non-default values are there, though, so if you want to know the key name for which you want to change the value, you have to change it with the GUI first, so that it appears in the file. Eg: With the GUI, I chose Alt+Esc and Alt+Shift+Esc, which resulted in these values:

 

[shift]

as_prev = <Shift><Alt>Escape,Button0,,0,false

as_next = <Alt>Escape,Button0,,0,false

 

I changed these to:

 

[shift]

as_prev = <Shift><Alt>Tab,Button0,,0,false

as_next = <Alt>Tab,Button0,,0,false

 

And now I have the shortcuts I wanted :)
