Here are few keybinding issues that i am facing in xfce4-svn solving which might make life easier.
1. how to launch htop from keyboard. I mean whats the command to run htop in console. If I type htop in console it works but not in run program dialog box (only works when "run in terminal" is selected).
2. Super key alone does not work. If I press super key alone in keybinding, the shortcut saved is "super+super_L" or "super+super_R." How to solve this problem.
3. Is it possible to navigate in xfce4 menu using initial letters of the items rather use up/down and left/right keys. I mean as in windows, you need to press "m" to go to "multimedia," "n" for "Networks", and likewise.
4. It seems that xfce4 menu editor is not working properly. I tried to hide a few things in the menu such as "Run Program," "terminal," etc., but it still shows them in the menu. It is editing "~/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml" and in this file, it shows the changes I have made. Is there any other menu file that xfce4 uses other than this file?

1. This one depends on your choice of terminal e.g. for me it would be urxvt -e htop. Check your terminal app's man page or online docs.
2. THere may be a better way, but I fixed this by editing the relevant conf file by hand. You'll find it in ~/.config/xfce4/xfwm4.

thanks tomk, the first solution did work.
The shortcut file that I found was in ~/.config/xfce4/shortcuts/hostname.xml. There was nothing in ~/.config/xfce4/xfwm4.
It had a line
<shortcut command="xfce4-popup-menu" keys="Super+Super_L"/>
since I had added left super key in the keyboard settings.
I tried changing that to only "Super" and "Super_L" but in all 3 cases, it would work only if I press right super first and then press left super.

Sorry, I gave you the old file. That .xml one is correct.
Mine has
<shortcut command="xfdesktop -menu" keys="Super_L"/>
and it works as expected. I only have one Super key, but I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

Thanks again. That did work. I guess it was not working wth "xfce4-popup-menu."
I have configured other programs to open with super, like super+o for opera, etc. now, they dont work with left super but do work with right super. Thats fine for me anyway..
