Feature Request: ability to export and import hotkeys #7

Closed dmnmsc closed 7 months ago

dmnmsc commented 7 months ago

I use more than one computer and I'd like to have the same shortcuts in both of them.

I miss an option to export and import shortcuts

jqno commented 7 months ago

Good point. Fortunately, Gnome already has a program called dconf for this.

Open a terminal and run this command:

dconf dump /org/gnome/shell/extensions/happy-appy-hotkey/ > happy-appy-hotkey-settings.dconf

You can save the happy-appy-hotkey-settings.dconf file somewhere safe. When you need to import them again, you can run this:

dconf load /org/gnome/shell/extensions/happy-appy-hotkey/ < happy-appy-hotkey-settings.dconf

Your settings should take effect immediately.

I've added this to the readme as well, so other people can benefit too.

That's true! But maybe an option in the GUI settings would make the process easier for non-techie people.

Anyway, thanks for the tip!

True, that would certainly be nice to have, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get to it any time soon, sorry about that...

Don't worry! This extension made my day, month and year. Thank you very much!

I'm happy to hear that by scratching my own itch, I've also been able to help you! 😄
