What file does the key binding info get stored in?
When I want to do a key combo with the window button e.g. “Mod4(windows) + t” it won’t let me. I’d like to edit the file directly.

Hm, there needs to be an %3CALT%3E%3CCTRL%3E in front of that (hope this works :)

global_keybindings (run_command_1 to _10) can be set to keybindings (P, just type it in literally), then set the corresponding command in keybindings_commands (command_1 = pidgin). This way you get to set ten commands without overriding any other keyboard shortcuts.

was the key name for my left super (Windows) key, in case any one wondered.

Thanks for the tip Vivek.

Very nice topic ! Almoust exactly what i was looking for. I got a problem with shortcuts in Fedora 9. I can not assign the keyboard shotrtcut for HOME directory. It seems to be set in a right way and I also have xml file for this shortcut but it does not works. If you have some idea in mind … I will be thankful.
