It could well be locale dependant. I used to determine what the key was.

That showed just grave for me. My keyboard is set the US way.

2. Re. "dead_grave" ... I had to Google to find out what that meant but now I have this:
Code:
<!-- Launch Customize Look and Feel-->
<keybind key="A-grave">
<action name="Execute">
<command>lxappearance</command>
</action>
</keybind>
Note that it's a simple grave for me. Trying dead_grave didn't work (but didn't throw up an error either). Maybe it's locale-dependent? In any case, thank you for the grave tip. :)
So what is the key combination when I add dead_grave?
ALT + what?
Re: Simple Expose for lxde lubuntu no compositing required
I added this code:
<!-- Start Expose for LXDE -->
<keybind key="A-dead_grave">
<action name="Execute">
<command>skippy-xd</command>
</action>
</keybind>
<!-- End Expose for LXDE -->
ran openbox --start
but nothing happens. What is the key combo for this a work?
ALT + What?
Re: Simple Expose for lxde lubuntu no compositing required
Well, you can use any keys that are convenient for you. The main thing is to make sure the combination isn't already in use somewhere else. There's no warning.
The grave or dead_grave key is on the left side of the keyboard, just below the esc key (and just above the tab key). Without holding down shift, pressing that key should give a ` (grave used in many European languages and even in Bash). Holding down the shift key and pressing that key should give a ~ (tilde).

Not
openbox --start
but
openbox --restart
I prefer
openbox --reconfigure
Also try grave instead of dead_grave.
Re: Simple Expose for lxde lubuntu no compositing required
As I pointed out earlier, if you run 'xev' in a terminal it will tell you the code and/or name of the key/s you have pressed.
Re: Simple Expose for lxde lubuntu no compositing required
the first post code is already updated to correct the syntax error
after applying the first post code simply hold down alt then hit `
no need for the secondary post of the code

It's working now. :)

Is it possible to have a transparent background like in your screenshot? Mine is not as good.
