Change dash lens hotkey

Change dash lens hotkey


Although CCSM offers a way to change some of the Unity hotkeys, some are not there.
You cannot change the unity dash lenses hotkeys like Super+M or Super+F for music and files lenses.
To disable or change the hotkeys youll need to edit the lens files.
Open nautilus and navigate to the lens files.
$ gksudo nautilus /usr/share/unity/lenses/


Open the corresponding lens folder, and edit the *.lens file.
There is a Shortcut=<> entry. Change the letter or remove it to disable the hotkey.
If you want to disable the lens add the ShowEntry=false entry.
To apply the changes run
$ setsid unity
Works in Ubuntu 12.04
