I would like the shortcuts better than snapping. (I turn off snapping, I don't like it at all. I must be unusual because it seems to be the default

I also turn of snapping, Snapping would make a lot of sense on a tablet, but ... then you dont have a keyboard so even there it is useless. So maybe in the future someone will figure out a better way.


Is there a listing of available shortcuts? I know the info can be seen in
~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml . But, I'm thinking new users (Windows
users specifically) who might comprehend it the info was more available
like a help file(?).

LXQt has a nice shortcut editor so in the near future this will probable not be an issue. Maybe someone can strip the shortcuts from that XML and put them in a nice table on the Lubuntu website?


I'd like to see a shortcut for disabling/enabling the laptop touchpad. I wrote a couple shell scripts to do that.[1] One toggles it on/off and is
bound to a keyboard shortcut. I call the other script from .profile to
toggle the touchpad off by default.

Many laptops have their own hardware key combo for that. FN+F4 in my case. So i wonder how hard it is to make a default key combo for this.

(A "touchpad-indcator" package exists. But, I don't need that much
fancy'ness and overhead.).

[1] The scripts do the following:
  xinput list   (to get the touchpad's id-number)
xinput set-prop {id-number} "Device Enabled" 0   (or 1).

Is there a difference or advantage in using set-prop over using
xinput disable <device>
xinput enable <device>

?
