            Bug ID: 16470
           Summary: Improve the default shortcut keys
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Xfce4-settings
           Version: 4.15.0
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Keyboard Settings
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: philipz85 at hotmail.com
  Target Milestone: Xfce 4.14

I would like to make the following shortcut suggestions.

1. Changing [Ctrl + Alt + Delete] to xfce4-session-logout (also suggested in
bug 11979)
Ubuntu Mate, Kubuntu, Linux Mint Cinammon, and Windows use this to show the
shutdown/logout dialog and think it would be good to change it to this.

2. Add [Ctrl + Shift + Escape] for xfce4-taskmanager
Easy access to the task manager is something quite useful and utilizing the
same shortcut as on Windows is a good idea.

3. Add [Ctrl + Space] for xfrun4
A number of application launchers use this shortcut to launch, likely because
its similar to Mac OS's Cmd + Space.

4. Add [Alt + Print] for `xfce4-screenshooter -w`
Print modifier shortcut to capture the window. Shortcut used in Xubuntu,
Lubuntu, Ubuntu Mate, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint Cinammon.

5. Add [Shift + Print] for `xfce4-screenshooter -r`
Print modifier shortcut to capture a region of the screen. Shortcut used in
Xubuntu, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint Cinammon.

6. Add [Ctrl + Alt + Escape] for `xkill`
Easy access to kill a GUI app. Shortcut used in Xubuntu and KDE

7. Add [Calculator]
As XFCE doesn't bundle its own calculator, the XFCE distro will assign this to
their calculator (e.g. gnome-calculator, mate-calc)

== Super Key Shortcuts ==

1. Add [Super + E] for thunar
Lubuntu, Linux Mint Cinammon and Windows use this to open the file manager and
[Ctrl + Alt + F] could be used as an alternative.

2. Add [Super + R] for xfrun4
Shortcut used in Xubuntu, Lubuntu and Windows
