Changes

The GNOME desktop has a set of predefined actions to which a keyboard shortcut may be assigned. By default some of these actions already have a key sequence assigned to them. Other actions are disabled by default. As a user you have the power to view the current shortcut settings, change or disable currently configured shortcuts and to assign shortcuts to disabled actions.

To view the current configuration select the ''System->Preferences->Personal->Keyboard Shortcuts'' menu option. The following dialog will subsequently appear listing the current keyboard shortcut settings:

The shortcuts are broken down into categories; Sound, Desktop , Accessibility and Window Management. The above figure shows the ''Desktop'' shortcut category. Scrolling through the list will give you a good overview of which shortcuts are currently configured and which key sequences are assigned.
