But, I've scoured the web so you don't have to :)
Please, go right here... since I made mistakes getting to the final answer... if you're short on time :)
How do you know what desktop window manager you have? KDE, Gnome or something else? (Pray not CDE!)
> env | grep XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
See =XFCE? Then read on :)
You'll see tonnes of pages telling you to go into "Keyboard" (Applications Menu > Settings > Keyboard )
No! Do not!
All you do is :
Applications Menu > Settings > Settings Editor (Yes, a bit of an eye chart to get there ) (Note, not Settings Manager but Editor :)
You should see something like this :
Again, ignore keyboards. Go to xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts . When you click on that, the right pane gets populated with tonnes of stuff. Scroll down and find the one you want. If you're like me, you want something better than ALT-F10 for toggling window maximization :)
Change that to something more finger friendly :)
Yikes! Shame on me - you can't - you can use this dialog to change ALT-F10 to something else..
Means? You have to find the one that already exists for the key combo you want and change that. If you're big on ALT-F1 to be left-hand-finger-friendly :), you'll see it's xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu by default. Change it to maximize_window_key
And :) Welcome back. Didn't work did it? :) Trust me, I feel your pain. Fortunately, this one gave me a decent lead and problem solved :
https://askubuntu.com/questions/90513/how-do-i-change-my-keyboard-shortcuts-in-xubuntu
You do go to Settings Manager and then hit Window Manager :
And then, when you click on a setting of interest and then hit Edit, it'll ask you to hit the key combo you want, and you're all set..
