LXDE Forums

Dear all,

i am new to lxde. I used to run xfce4. Anyway, I have to change the config file to use keyboard shortcuts since, as I understand, there is no GUI to do so. Plus it's more fun I supppose.

I manage to do most my shorcuts. For instance, to start iceweasel:
<!-- Remap Key To Launch iceweasel -->
<keybind key="C-A-w">
<action name="Execute">
<command>/usr/bin/iceweasel</command>
</action>
</keybind>

However, there are a few I do not know how to do:
- one is to close the window on top. I used to have C-A-x (ctrl + Alt + X). But I don't know what is the command that actually closes the top window. It looks like it's GDM, but I am not sure.
- the other one is to maximise the window on top

any help would be welcome.

best,

To close the window on top (the active window), press alt+spacebar and then the letter "c".
To maximize the window on top (the active window), press alt+spacebar and then the letter "x".

You don't need to go into rc.xml for that.

(It's possible I've misunderstood what you want because you've mentioned "GDM".)

Hi,

thanks for the tip. I actually want to rename the shortcut to maximise the window (I found how to close the active window) with ctrl+alt+m

how do I do that?

thanks
