Hi,

This is not a programming question per se, but this is certainly about something which would help increasing my programming productivity.

In KDE, one can assign short-cuts to particular windows. This eliminates alt-tabbing completely and, is very very convenient when multiple apps(browser, console, emacs etc) are open. My question is - can window short cuts be assigned in XFCE4 ? And if yes, how ? I very recently switched to XFCE from KDE4 and would appreciate any help regarding this.

TIA.

Hi, I know that google is our friend and I've gone through the manual too :) What i am looking for is short-cuts to particular windows and not shortcuts to launch applications. For eg. in KDE, one can have, for example Ctrl+Alt+A assigned to the konsole window. Now, whenever a konsole is opened, pressing Ctrl+Alt+A will bring it to front regardless of which window the user was in. This speeds up things a lot since, one does not have to remember or even look at the result of pressing alt+tab as one moves from one window to another.

Hope i'm clearer. TIA.

Why not creating a +virtual desktop for that application, then switch to that?
