How I configure my desktop environment

Operating System#

As of writing (Mar 2021), I use Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon (codename Ulyana) which is based on Ubuntu 20.04.

Cinnamon Desktop Environment derives from GNOME 3 but follows traditional desktop metaphor conventions.

I’m a Linux user who are forced to use Windows at work.

Here’s how to replicate Windows shortcuts to my Development Machine.

TODO: put the dconf load command

Some shortcuts conflict with global system actions. To fix these conflicts, I reassign or disable the conflicting shortcut.

Taken from jetbrains, here are a few examples of system shortcut conflicts with the default keymap in PyCharm

Shortcut	System action	IntelliJ IDEA action
Ctrl+Alt+S	Shade window	Open the Settings dialog
Ctrl+Alt+L	Lock screen	Reformat Code
Ctrl+Alt+T	Launch Terminal	Surround With
Ctrl+Alt+F12	Open the tty12 virtual console File path
Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right	Switch between Workspaces	Undo/redo navigation operations
Alt+F7	Move window	Find Usages
Alt+F8	Resize window	Evaluate Expression
