How can I reset the keyboard shortcuts back to defaults?

I have installed Ubuntu 15.10 on a MackBook Pro Late 2013. If there is any other specifics you need from me to assist, please let me know and I will update the question.

Note: I am brand new to Linux. This is my first installation.

I began updating some of the keyboard shortcuts to be more in-line with what I am used to on my MacBook Pro. This quickly became more cumbersome then I would have liked, as there are conflicting shortcuts etc.

I followed the steps from How do I reset Unity default shortcuts? since that referenced 14.04 which was the most recent version I could find an answer to.

1) I had to install dconf-editor since that was not yet installed.

sudo apt-get install dconf-editor

2) Run the dconf-editor

dconf-editor

3) Once I launched the editor as the post suggested I followed these two paths:

/org/compiz/integrated/show-hud
/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/window-screenshot

Within the editor in both of these areas I noticed that several of the items were bolded thankfully the system was showing me which ones I had changed.

Example: "Screenshot" enter image description here

Once you select the name you can select the "set to default" button in the bottom right of the window.

While I would love to find a reset all option. This has worked out great and everything is back to defaults. I actually feel comfortable editing them again knowing it keeps track of the changed items.
