Shortcuts for openbox lxde
Shortcuts for openbox lxde
To create custom keyboard shortcuts, edit your ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml accordingly (If you are a LXDE user, the file is named~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml) :
File: ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml
[...]
<keyboard>
[...]
<keybind key="KeyCombination">
<action name="Execute">
<command>path-to-your-program</command>
</action>
</keybind>
[...]
Note: Replace KeyCombination by the key combination you want. Replace CTRL by C, ALT by A,SHIFT by S, SUPER (or Windows) by W, and separate your keystrokes by a dash (-).
Example :
File: ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml
<keybind key="A-f">
<action name="Execute">
<command>/usr/bin/firefox</command>
</action>
</keybind>
Note: This configuration will bind firefox to a ALT+F keystroke. (Use firefox-bin if you installed firefox-bin.)
Key combination
KEY-COMBINATION is the key combination which you want to bind to the actions. The format for the KEY-COMBINATION is:
Modifier-Modifier-Key. Any number of modifiers (0 or more) can be used together, and they are each separated by a "-".Modifiers
| Modifier keys | |
|---|---|
| S | Shift key |
| C | Control key |
| A | Alt key |
| W | Super key (Usually bound to the Windows key on keyboards which have one) |
| M | Meta key |
| H | Hyper key (If it is bound to something) |
You can also use Mod1 through Mod5 as the modifiers to directly select a modifier mask (e.g. Mod1 to select Mod1Mask), but this is for advanced users who have customized their modifier mapping with
