Help with lubuntu-rc.xml key binding [SOLVED]

[Bob E]

I wanted to set a custom shortcut on my Lubuntu 11.04 desktop using ctrl-g, but "g" is already in use. So, I'm curious about what this is:

<keyboard><chainQuitKey>C-g</chainQuitKey>

It doesn't seem to do anything...that I know of. I don't know if that is enough info, but can I change that "g" to something else so I can use it for a custom shortcut? (I don't want to foul anything up if it's important.)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello and Welcome to LXDE Forum

Code: Select all

<chainQuitKey>C-g</chainQuitKey>

Seems jobless
Ctrl+G on Leafpad for example means Find Next.
On the Desktop, it does nothing and if you see the code before and after that line, you see there is no action to carry on.

Anyway, if I were you, I would save a backup for the same file: lubuntu-rc.xml and give it this name: lubuntu-rc.back. Just in case, you'll always have a backup

Thanks amjjawad. I went back in and changed it to this:

Code: Select all

<chainQuitKey></chainQuitKey>

I made a backup, so if something goes goofy, I'll know what I need to do.

BTW, you were the person that helped me on the Ubuntu forum a couple of weeks ago when I first started using Lubuntu.

I like this disro a lot! I've got a full install of Lu 10.10 on a flash drive, and Lu 11.04 on a desktop and my Eee. I even made a matching Google Chrome theme for 11.04. Check it out. http://ankhmorporkcitywatch.deviantart.com/#/d4b4snd

AND, I'm looking forward to tomorrow when Lu 11.10 is finally available!

Thanks again for your help.

You most welcome

You can also delete the whole thing. As long as you do have a backup, there is nothing to worry about
This is a test machine where I'm typing now, however, I do have a backup for such stuff

I LOVE Lubuntu and don't want to replace it with any other OS

WOW, beautiful theme indeed ... I think I'll use it
Do you have more of these?
