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 xmodmap.
