====== Xfce Settings ======

This page documents the different settings available through Xfconf since Xfce 4.6 and later.

At the time of the writing it is very incomplete.

===== Usage =====

To get started here are a few examples of the mighty tool "''**xfconf-query**''."

List the channels:

  xfconf-query -l

List all of the properties and values of a channel:

  xfconf-query -c <CHANNEL> -lv

Create a new property:

  xfconf-query -c <CHANNEL> -p <PROPERTY> -n -t <TYPE> -s <VALUE>

Change an existing property (same as previous but without the -n):

  xfconf-query -c <CHANNEL> -p <PROPERTY> -s <VALUE>

As Xfconf won't list any unset properties on a channel, it is needed to grep the source. This means downloading a project -- cf. http://git.xfce.org/ --, and use commands like "''grep xfconf_channel_set *.c''."

==== Keyboard Shortcuts ====

Channel: **xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts**

This channel is special, and should only be used through the GUI, since it reads keyboard characters from the keyboard layout like <Shift> and <Alt>.

It contains a string array in the property /providers that lists the group names. Each group contains a serie of default and custom shortcuts in the properties /<group-name>/default/<shortcut> and /<group-name>/custom/<shortcut>. The property value of each shortcut is respectively the command to execute and the name of the window manager action.

FIXME what is /<group-name>/custom/override useful for?
