Make Windows key open Applications Menu

[jockopablo]

Someone helped me do this with Lubuntu, but I've switched to Xubuntu and the procedure is obviously different. How can I make my Windows key open the Applications Menu in Xubuntu?

I found the keyboard shortcuts in the Settings menu but I see no option for adding a shortcut. It only shows the existing shortcuts.

Thanks.

I think this has your solution: http://lgallardo.com/en/2009/07/18/a...uts-in-xfce-4/

Please note that the command

xfce4-popup-menu

no longer exists in xfce 4.8 (Natty). If you are running Natty, the command is now

xfdesktop --menu

Thanks, guys, but I don't have the option to Add a shortcut. I can see the list of application shortcuts and if I double-click one it opens up, but I can't edit or add.

I'm running Xubuntu 11.04.

Go to Settings->Settings Manager, Click on Keyboard then Application Shortcuts. Do you have "Add", "Remove" and "Reset To Defaults" buttons at the bottom?

Something like this:

That's what it's called:

xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu

I leave it here as a reference to myself, and others who wish to assign it to a keyboard shortcut.


Thanks.

I just don't know how to make that thing toggle. So that when you press it again, the menu disappears. Maybe some wise head could share a command we could add?
