          First, disable the "Cmd" button, which likely corresponds to the Super (also known as Windows) key on other systems. This can be achieved with the gsettings terminal command:



          gsettings set org.gnome.mutter overlay-key ''


          Then set a key to launch the dash to your preference:



          gsettings set org.gnome.shell.keybindings toggle-overview ['<Super>s', '<Super>Space']


          Here, your choice of key is added to the already existing default binding <Super>s.



          Instead of using the command line, you can also change such config settings using dconf-editor.



          To revert any change, i.e., reset to default settings, you can use gsettings with the reset option:



          gsettings reset org.gnome.mutter overlay-key
          gsettings reset org.gnome.shell.keybindings toggle-overview
