I have seen in many places that users of Xfce they have asked how to open the application menu using a keyboard shortcut, and in many cases they have received no response.
En Gnome 2 we can do it by default with [Alt] + [F1] and in Xfce We can also do it, with the combination we want. It is very simple. For this we will Menu »Preferences» Keyboard »Applications Shortcut. We add a new shortcut and put as command:
xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu
Then we assign the key we want, in my case, I put the typical key with the Windows flag, best known in the world GNU / Linux as Super L.
GREAT.
Perfect advice to make things a little easier in Xfce.
Excellent!! I needed it 🙂
This is the type of very good and simple advice, but that should be implemented by default in the distributions, let's say that if at the beginning it was only for windows, now with the unity launcher and gnome-shell one gets more and more used to using this key as the starting point for the most common activities on the pc,
In Xfce 4.6.2 it is xfce4-popup-menu.

Many thanks!!!!!!
SUPER L: this is new for me, new things are learned in subjects that I did not imagine 🙂
thanks, for when the mouse doesn't work xD
I've wanted to do that for a long time 😀 Thank you so much, then I give it a try.
Great this tip.
I have put as command "xfce4-appfinder", to launch applications quickly.
Excellent!
Good! I would need some help with the tutor! If I put both xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu and xfce4-popup-menu, it does not enable the "accept" option, only "cancel" appears. It won't let me configure a shortcut. The version in Debian Squeeze is 4.6 and in Fedora (18) 4.10
thank you it was helpful
Very thanks Alexander! These tips were very useful. Regards!
