Setting Keyboard Accessibility Preferences
To set keyboard accessibility preferences, modify the values of the preference keys in
the /desktop/gnome/accessibility/keyboard location. For example, if
you want to set a mandatory value so that keyboard accessibility features are enabled,
use the following command:
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source
xml:readwrite:/etc/opt/gnome/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type bool --set
/desktop/gnome/ accessibility/keyboard/enable true
To set a default value for this preference, use the following command:
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source
xml:readwrite:/etc/opt/gnome/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type bool --set
/desktop/gnome/
accessibility/keyboard/enable false
You can also set other keyboard accessibility preferences. For more information, see
the desktop_gnome_accessibility_keyboard.schemas schema definition
file.
Setting Keyboard Shortcut Preferences
To set keyboard shortcut preferences, modify the values of preference keys in /apps/
metacity/global_keybindings location. For example, you might want users
to use only the Alt+F3 keyboard shortcut to open the Run Application dialog. To set
this mandatory value, use the following command:
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source
xml:readwrite:/etc/opt/gnome/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type string --set
/apps/metacity/global_keybindings '<Alt>F3'
You can also set other keyboard shortcut preferences. For more information, see the
metacity.schemas schema definition file.
