Keyboard shortcuts can be used to access frequently used applications, such as a web browser, terminal, file manager, or package manager.

Keyboard Shortcuts in XFCE

In your panel, Applications -> Settings -> Keyboard.

Open the Application Shortcuts Tab. This is what it looks like(customised).

To Add a new Shortcut, click on Add

 


Now we need to type in the name of the command. In this example, we will setup a shortcut to the XFCE Terminal

 

Click on Ok.


Then we need to press the keyboard key(s) to create the shortcut.

 


We choose the Super(Windows) + t key combination for Terminal


 


and the shortcut would be created.


 


More such shortcuts can be created in a similar manner.

These shortcuts can be edited also by double clicking on them to change the command.
