gedit broken shortcut keys, has mod2


I have been trying to play around with gedit and came across the "shortcut editor" plugin. But somehow, it messed up my key bindings. It no longer works. Everytime I try to setup a new shortcut, I get a "Mod2" addition to the bind.

How do I reset to the default key bindings? How do I remove Mod2?

Thanks,

Wenbert

Solution

  • I'm going to answer my question. I have solved it after hours of trial and error.

    I was connecting to my Linux machine running gedit using Synergy. So I jsut transfered the keyboard to the USB port running the linux machine and then reconfigured the Shortcut Editor Plugin for gedit.

    The shortcuts are now properly set by the plugin.
