***************************** Appendix F Hotkeys Shortcuts ***************************** Hotkeys, also known as keyboard shortcuts, allow users to easily navigate, start applications, and change settings like resizing windows. These are useful as they create a smooth and time efficient user experience. It would benefit users to take a few minutes to learn some of these shortcuts. Lubuntu has manages the keyboard shortcuts using two layers. Namely, LXQt Global Keys and Openbox. Global-keys -------------- Global-keys (lxqt-globalkeysd) is a component of the LXQt environment. Global-keys takes preference over Openbox keyboard shortcuts. Global keys are viewed, (dis)enabled and managed using Shortcut keys (Chapter 3.2.14). Openbox keyboard shortcuts ------------------------------- Openbox keyboard shortcuts is the second layer managing keyboard shortcuts. It is preferred for windows management like resizing. To change these settings see this link on the `openbox wiki bindings <http://Openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings>`_ .. note:: Global-keys will take preference over Openbox bindings. If a key is used in Global-keys, it will not work in Openbox keyboard shortcuts. For example if the W(indows) key opens the LXQT application menu (equivalent of the windows start menu) in Global-keys, Openbox commands like window resizing (W + arrow keys) will not work correctly. Keep this in mind when using and editing keyboard shortcuts. The table below shows Lubuntu's default Openbox keyboard shortcuts: **Modifier keys** Key description ==== ======================== 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) ==== ======================== **Keybindings for desktop switching** ============================= ======================== GoToLeftDesktop C-A-Left GoToRightDesktop C-A-Right GoToDesktop C-A-Up GoToDesktop C-A-Down SendToDesktoaToLeft S-A-Left SendToDesktopToRight S-A-Right SendToDesktop S-A-Up SendToDesktop S-A-Down ============================= ======================== **Keybindings for windows** ============================= ======================== Close A-F4 Lower (minimize) A-Escape ShowMenu A-space ============================= ======================== **Keybindings for window switching** ============================= ======================== NextWindow A-Tab PreviousWindow A-S-Tab NextWindow C-A-Tab ============================= ======================== **Keybindings for window switching with the arrow keys** ============================= ======================== DirectionalCycleWindows W-S-Right DirectionalCycleWindows W-S-Left DirectionalCycleWindows W-S-Up DirectionalCycleWindows W-S-Down ============================= ======================== **Keybindings to toggle fullscreen** ============================= ======================== ToggleFullscreen F11 ============================= ======================== ============================= ======================== Launch lxqt-runner W-r Open Panel Menu W ============================= ======================== **Launch task manager on Ctrl + Alt + Del** ============================= ======================== Open qps C-A-Delete ============================= ======================== **Launch a terminal on Ctrl + Alt + T** ============================= ======================== Open QTerminal C-A-T ============================= ======================== ============================= ======================== Launch Firefox XF86WWW Open qterminal XF86Terminal ============================= ======================== **Keybinding for computer button** ============================= ======================== Open PCManFM-Qt XF86MyComputer ============================= ======================== **Keybinding for backlight** ============================= ======================== Toggle turn off monitor C-F7 Decrease backlight brightness C-S-F6 Increase backlight brightness C-S-F7 ============================= ======================== **Keybindings fo Volume** ============================= ========================= Decrease Volume XF86VolumeLower Increase Volume XF86VolumeRaise Mute Volume XF86AudioMute ============================= =========================
