Assign a Keyboard
Shortcut |
| Note: Since Lubuntu 20.04, LXQt is the default session
manager and so keyboard shortcuts are available via Preferences
> LXQt Settings > Shortcut Keys. The following only applies to Lubuntu 18.04 and earlier.. Lubuntu uses the Openbox window manager. To assign a keystroke to a command do the following; 1. If it doesn't exist, copy this openbox xml file to your home cp etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml <user>/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
note: .config is a hidden
directory
2. Edit the openbox lubuntu-rc.xml leafpad
$HOME/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
You'll get something like this; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- Do not edit this file, it will be overwritten on install. Copy the file to $HOME/.config/openbox/ instead. --> . . <keyboard> <chainQuitKey>C-g</chainQuitKey> <keybind key="C-Scroll_Lock"> <action name="Execute"> <command>runterm mouse-r fast</command> </action> </keybind> . . Find the <keyboard> tag and
insert a <keybind> entry similar to the other entries
that you see.
The example you see here is for a control-scroll-lock, and the command is to execute 'runterm mouse-r fast'. That's it ! |
