Well I wanted to give some feedback on accessibility/productivity via keyboard shortcuts that would be nice to have in Kicksecure. Xfce is a little different then others but I recall that the Xfce version of Manjaro had shortcuts specific to that OS even on Xfce. In fact I’m more then sure there was another distro that was discontinued but specifically had keymaps set for Chromebook hardware but I don’t member the name? It did however use Xfce as desktop env is what I’m getting at.
I manually created some keyboard shortcuts but these would make Kicksecure more productivity appealing.
- Whiskermenu shortcut
Super key for menu drop down “Super L” for fast searching
command: xfce4-popup-whiskermenu
- Screenshot shortcut
Set to the “Print key” but some layouts might be the “End” key
command: xfce4-screenshooter
- Lockscreen shortcut
“Super + L” just like windows has for locking your workstation when leaving your desk.
command: xscreensaver -lock
- Notepad shortcut
“Super + N” or “Super + M” for mousepad since its the default notepad on xfce.
command: mousepad
Volume controls (my hardware was not detected)
- Volume up
command: amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%+
- Volume down
command: amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%-
- Mute
command: amixer -D pulse sset Master toggle
Looking into how Kicksecure could set distro specific keyboard shortcuts would make it more complete since my assumption is Xfce is gonna stay.
P.S. Is there any other DE spins going to made for future releases?
