Keyboard Shortcuts Don't Persist Between Sessions
If I setup a window manager shortcut (Windows Left/Right Arrow) it works as expected. When I log out and log in, the shortcut ceases to work. Mouse dragging the window to the left/right edge tiles as expected. The keyboard shortcut dialog still shows my custom shortcut as expected.
I took a look at file perms for xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml. This file is writable by me. I'm running 4.14 on FreeBSD-13.
Any ideas on what to try?
Regards,
Jason C. Wells

Re: Keyboard Shortcuts Don't Persist Between Sessions
Can you post the results of:
xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -lv | grep xfwm4...as well as the contents of:
cat ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml | grep -A100 xfwm4Which shortcut is causing the problem?
Are you using a non-standard keyboard layout?

Re: Keyboard Shortcuts Don't Persist Between Sessions
Hmmm.
Can you restart the computer and log in to a text console (not GUI). Copy ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml to ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml.BAK. Log in to the GUI and before you do anything else, post back the contents of ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml.BAK.
Lets see if it shows up (it doesn't on your previous post indicating that the value isn't being saved).
Does FreeBSD generate an ~/.xsession-errors and ~/.xsession-errors.old log file? If so, can you also post back the contents of ~/.xsession-errors.old.
