Eclipse uses Alt+F5 to Update Maven Project.

It's worked on earlier versions of Ubuntu, but on 20.10 that key combination is mapped to Un-maximize window, which is also what Super+↓ does.

I cannot find Alt+F5 under Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts, and I haven't figured out where these mappings are stored or how to change them outside the Settings app.

"Restore", which is found in the Windows section in Settings - Keyboard shortcuts, is not only assigned to Super+Down, but also to the "traditional" shortcut Alt+F5. You can disable the binding to Alt+F5 and retain the Super+Down binding:

  • Go to "Settings" - "Keyboard"
  • Click "View and customize shortcuts" in the right pane
  • Under the section "Windows", click "Restore window".
  • The "Set shortcut" dialog appears.
  • Press Super+Down: this will set that key only.

Alternatively, use gsettings in the terminal:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings unmaximize "['<Super>Down']"

That removes the assignment to Alt+F5, but maintains Super+Down for unmaximizing a window. Reset to the default (['<Super>Down', '<Alt>F5']) with the command

gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings unmaximize

You can edit this and many other "hidden" settings using dconf-editor, not installed by default.
