Navigating desktop/menus with keyboard?

[ammarr]

Hi,

Is it just me, or can you not navigate the xfce desktop and menu with the keyboard (I mean, I can use the arrow keys, but I cant get 'f' to get to firefox, for example). I was really surprised, and just wondering if this is something isolated to my desktop or if this feature really doesn't exist in xfce?

Go to Xfce Settings Manager | Window Manager | Keyboard to see the keyboard shortcuts, or read the Help for Xfce4 Window Manager, which explains how to set up your own shortcuts.

I'm not asking about keyboard SHORTCUTS.. i'm saying that if i have a shortcut called firefox on the desktop, can i press the f key (with desktop having focus) to get to it?

Not that I know of. I just use dmenu to launch apps.

Seems weird that something this basic isn't in there.. its not just for launching apps, what if there's a document shortcut on the desktop etc? As far as I know, this is present in every desktop environment (windows, gnome, kde etc). Anyhow.. thanks for the help.
