Add/change keyboard shortcuts (Xubuntu)

  • How to:
    1. Open the Settings Manager (Applications->Settings->Xfce4 Settings Manager)
    2. Search for Keyboard.
    3. Select the [Application Shortcuts] tab.
    4. The existing keyboard shortcuts can be found here. They can be changed.
    5. Click the add button to add your own.
  • My favourites: I have customized the shortcuts to act just like in Windows:
    • Hide all windows and set focus to Desktop: (Windows + d)
    • To open the file explorer: You can add a new command to open any folder:
              thunar folder_path

              Eg: thunar /home/myname/d-drive
      Note: thunar is the default file browser in Xubuntu
