 +==== 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.
