How to update shortcuts
Update sparky-desktop-data package to the latest version, then:
LXQt
Copy the file:
/usr/share/sparky-desktop-data/lxqt/skel/.config/openbox/lxqt-rc.xml
to:
~/.config/openbox/
then restart Openbox:
openbox --restart
Openbox
Copy the file:
/usr/share/sparky-desktop-data/openbox/skel/.config/openbox/rc.xml
to:
~/.config/openbox/
then restart Openbox:
openbox --restart
Xfce
Add the shortcuts manually:
Web browser:
xfconf-query --channel xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts --property "/commands/custom/<Super>w" --create --type string --set "x-www-browser"
Email client:
xfconf-query --channel xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts --property "/commands/custom/<Super>m" --create --type string --set "exo-open --launch Mailreader"
Terminal emulator:
xfconf-query --channel xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts --property "/commands/custom/<Super>t" --create --type string --set "x-terminal-emulator"
Screenshot:
xfconf-query --channel xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts --property "/commands/custom/Print" --create --type string --set "xfce4-screenshooter"
Thunar:
xfconf-query --channel xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts --property "/commands/custom/<Super>e" --create --type string --set "thunar"
Printer:
xfconf-query --channel xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts --property "/commands/custom/<Super>p" --create --type string --set "system-config-printer"
Monitor:
xfconf-query --channel xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts --property "/commands/custom/<Super>d" --create --type string --set "xfce4-display-settings -- minimal"
It can chanage your fonts settings, so reset it via the Xfce Config tool back after.
