I have XFCE in my desktop, and I want to make a keyboard shortcut for Super_L and Super_R ( Known as Windows Keys ) to open my Applications Menu.

What is the command?

    Thanks. I found that it worked in xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu. You helped me found it. – GeoMint Jul 07 '14 at 18:48
  • I just booted up my 12.04 to find it for older releases, which I guessed from your screenshot. :) – kraxor Jul 07 '14 at 18:51

    Anyone know why it isn't set to the super key by default? – extremeaxe5 Jun 17 '19 at 18:26
  • @extremeaxe5 On Windows I've pressed the super key by accident countless times while in game / watching a film / etc. and I find it one of the most annoying features of Windows. I'm guessing I'm not alone with this. Also, I think the super key is like CTRL or ALT, it's meant to be used in combination with other keys. Imagine binding the menu to CTRL! – kraxor Aug 09 '21 at 09:36
  • As of right now xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu works with debian trixie/sid while the other command doesn't. – Behrooz Mar 16 '24 at 07:24
