Modkey + arrow keys not registered by xev

A quick checkup with xmodmap shows me nothing unusual. What could be the issue? Is it possible to fix it?

Try `gsettings`, looks like that's what the MATE desktop uses for configuring key bindings (and many other things).

I have a script (call it `set-pinebook-pro-keys`, for instance) that does the following:

Code:

gsettings set org.mate.Marco.global-keybindings switch-to-workspace-1 "'<Alt>1'"
gsettings set org.mate.Marco.global-keybindings switch-to-workspace-2 "'<Alt>2'"
# .. and many more --- do `gsetting list-recursively` to get the full list

I then configure the MATE desktop to call that script (`set-pinebook-pro-keys` in this example) on startup. This is only needed in case you want changes to your script to take effect as soon as you log in again. Otherwise settings changed with `gsettings` seem to persist across MATE login sessions.
