Thanks for that. I struggled a bit before I realised I had to double
click on a row and then type the shortcut but got there in the end.

I found that but it doesn't seem to fit with what I have.

- When I view using the Settings Editor, I get an xfwm4 submenu
  followed by a commands submenu but the file has these the other way
  around.
- Again: with the Settings Editor, under xfwm4->Default, there are
  genuine entries but the file has type="empty" for all Default
  entries.

As a result of this I thought I had the wrong file. It seems that,
although it's the right file, it's of no real help to me in seeing
what is happening.

I'm very grateful for your reply.

Barrie.
