Merge lp:~sil2100/compiz/change_scale_keybinding into lp:compiz/0.9.8

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Change the default keybinding for initiating the window picker for the current workspace.

As discussed with JohnLea, this should be the default keybinding and behavior. Since we are switching to gsettings, this would be useful to change, to essentially fix the broken keybindings once and for all.

As discussed with JohnLea, this should be the default keybinding and behavior. Normally we had some different, undocumented keyshortcut for this. Since we are switching to gsettings, this would be useful to change, to essentially fix the broken keybindings once and for all.
This is the main reason the .convert files I submitted earlier for compiz didn't include migrations for scale keys - since we would like to actually reset the default keybindings here.

Hmm, usually we do these kinds of changes through distro patches - can we put this change there ?

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

Actually, if this is how you prefer it, we can. No problem actually.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Agreed... upstream compiz key combinations have always been different to Ubuntu/Unity, and have been largely unchanged for years. Any Ubuntu/Unity customization should be done as a distro patch in Ubuntu only.
