Gnome 3 always show ALT+x keyboard shortcuts

Question

I found out that "gtk-auto-mnemonic = 0" is supposed to turn the underlined keyboard shortcuts back on but neither "gtk-auto-mnemonic = 0" nor "gtk-auto-mnemonic = 1" at the end of every theme file made any difference.

Is this advice only valid for Gnome 2?

How can I make the shortcuts always visible, not just when I press ALT?

I did it with

locate gtkrc | grep themes | xargs -I @ echo "echo \"gtk-auto-mnemonics = 0\" >> @" | sudo sh

And verified with (both with zero and one, as I tried both):

~$ locate gtkrc | grep themes | xargs grep auto
/usr/share/gimp/2.0/themes/Default/gtkrc:gtk-auto-mnemonics = 1
/usr/share/gimp/2.0/themes/Small/gtkrc:gtk-auto-mnemonics = 1

Answer 1

Try:

$ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/automatic-mnemonics false

According to its schema: Only show mnemonics on when the Alt key is pressed. Whether mnemonics should be automatically shown and hidden when the user presses the Alt key..

Alternatively, you can use dconf-editor to change the value.

You will need to re-start the application in order the change makes effect.
