I would like to make the following shortcut suggestions. 1. Changing [Ctrl + Alt + Delete] to xfce4-session-logout (also suggested in bug 11979) Ubuntu Mate, Kubuntu, Linux Mint Cinammon, and Windows use this to show the shutdown/logout dialog and think it would be good to change it to this. 2. Add [Ctrl + Shift + Escape] for xfce4-taskmanager Easy access to the task manager is something quite useful and utilizing the same shortcut as on Windows is a good idea. 3. Add [Ctrl + Space] for xfrun4 A number of application launchers use this shortcut to launch, likely because its similar to Mac OS's Cmd + Space. 4. Add [Alt + Print] for `xfce4-screenshooter -w` Print modifier shortcut to capture the window. Shortcut used in Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu Mate, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint Cinammon. 5. Add [Shift + Print] for `xfce4-screenshooter -r` Print modifier shortcut to capture a region of the screen. Shortcut used in Xubuntu, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint Cinammon. 6. Add [Ctrl + Alt + Escape] for `xkill` Easy access to kill a GUI app. Shortcut used in Xubuntu and KDE 7. Add [Calculator] As XFCE doesn't bundle its own calculator, the XFCE distro will assign this to their calculator (e.g. gnome-calculator, mate-calc) == Super Key Shortcuts == 1. Add [Super + E] for thunar Lubuntu, Linux Mint Cinammon and Windows use this to open the file manager and [Ctrl + Alt + F] could be used as an alternative. 2. Add [Super + R] for xfrun4 Shortcut used in Xubuntu, Lubuntu and Windows Research on these suggestions can be found in the below google spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CPvYS7Vb00nImb5cru6pwcMHFov0vmdzJV9dTBUOuYg/edit#gid=0
Default keybindings are defined in this XML file: https://git.xfce.org/xfce/libxfce4ui/tree/libxfce4kbd-private/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml
Apart from 3), which I'm a little sceptical about, I'm fine with all of those. If you'd wanna go similar to MacOS in this case I would suggest [Super + Space] instead. If you wanna prepare a patch for all the others, I'm happy to push it to libxfce4ui for 4.15.x
Note that Super + Space is used by IBus to switch to the next input method.
Agreed, that's not a great choice then...

Created attachment 9504 patch for approved shortcuts Though 'XF86WWW' is set to launch the default web browser, it doesn't for me and i was thinking either to change it to 'HomePage' which works for me or add a new entry for 'Homepage'. Does 'XF86WWW' work for any of you guys?
Yousuf Philips referenced this bugreport in commit 0ec62b59985453c52a1c5026221b0de846cda291 Add more default keyboard shortcuts (Bug #16470) https://git.xfce.org/xfce/libxfce4ui/commit?id=0ec62b59985453c52a1c5026221b0de846cda291
FYI I split up your commit and attributed the change to "xfce4-session-logout" to https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11979 Also, I have neither "Homepage" nor "XF86WWW" on my keyboard...
I suggest to change xfrun4 (a symlink) to xfce4-appfinder. Also, adding a keyboard shortcut for the Calculator key should be done by the distributions.
(In reply to Simon Steinbeiss from comment #5) > Agreed, that's not a great choice then... Not So is Ctrl + Space on the table? KDE uses Alt + Space, but that already set to the windows operations menu. (In reply to Simon Steinbeiss from comment #8) > Also, I have neither "Homepage" nor "XF86WWW" on my keyboard... XF86WWW is supposed to be linked up with the Homepage key, similar to how XF86Mail is linked up with Mail key. https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/x11proto/tree/XF86keysym.h#n69 (In reply to Theo Linkspfeifer from comment #9) > I suggest to change xfrun4 (a symlink) to xfce4-appfinder. Ok > Also, adding a keyboard shortcut for the Calculator key should be done by > the distributions. I can remove the automatic setting of it from gnome-calculator to blank, though setting it to something means less work for some distros. Xubuntu uses mate-calculator, linux mint and linux lite use gnome-calculator and manjaro and mx us galculator. ---- Would be good to also assign the Super key to the whisker menu.
Created attachment 9529 patch for super, homepage, and ctrl + space
Created attachment 9530 patch for homepage and ctrl + space If setting super in my previous patch was problematic, then here is the patch without super.

I agree and have pushed both proposed changes. I also included the Homepage shortcut. Let's close this bugreport, it's already getting very messy and hard to follow (it demands a lot of attention just to know what has or hasn't been included...) If there are still open points please open a new report.
