Description

I encountered the need to make custom keybindings in my preferred desktop environment, LXDE. LXDE stores its keybinding configuration in ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml. This file can be modified to change or create keybindings. However, there is a GUI program to make keybinding easier, its called obkey.

  • Install obkey from the AUR:
    mkdir ~/src && cd ~/src
    wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ob/obkey/obkey.tar.gz
    tar xzf obkey.tar.gz
    cd obkey
    makepkg -s PKGBUILD
    
    1. Install the the package:
      sudo pacman -U obkey*.xz
      
  • Now open the LXDE configuration with obkey:
    obkey ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml
    

(Optional) Add a new keybinding to Toggle Decorations

  1. One obkey has opened the LXDE configuration, click on Insert Sibling Keybinding
  2. Next click on the newly created keybinding and press the new key combination
  3. Now click on Insert New Action
  4. Then click on the newly created action and select ToggleDecorations
  5. Finally click on Save
