From Linux Mint

Jump to: navigation, search

Open Home

Press CTRL+H to show hidden files

open .fluxbox

open keys

add some lines like these...


Mod4 q :ExecCommand xfce4-taskmanager
Mod4 t :ExecCommand xfce4-terminal

Mod4 f :ExecCommand firefox
Mod4 p :ExecCommand pidgin
Mod4 s :ExecCommand skype
Mod4 x :ExecCommand xchat
Mod4 t :ExecCommand thunar
Mod4 r :ExecCommand gksudo thunar

(the last one opens Thunar as Root)


Mod4 is the Windows or Super key so pressing Super+t would open terminal

You can also use other keys instead eg

 Mod1    == Alt
 Mod4    == Windows key
 Control == Ctrl
 Shift   == Shift


just take note that some programs have shortcuts defined already so try to use unique ones.
