Editing certain "Windows" shortcuts revert after system restart
"View split on left" and "View split on right" keyboard shortcuts are disabled(revert to default) on next restart after editing them, tried using dconf-editor but those keybinding are probably immutable. Is there some way to change those keybindings and make them persist on next system reboot?

creating a .service file that edits the keybinding on startup fixed this
1.
mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user/ -- create necessary directory for systemd user services
2. nano ~/.config/systemd/user/gnome -- custom-shortcuts.service - touch and edit .service file with nano...2 Replies
