Keyboard shortcut does not work

Hello!

I am new to Xfce, and was setting up my preferred keyboard shortcuts for the window manager. I have the following relevant lines in my $HOME/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml:

<property name="&lt;Super&gt;period" type="string" value="next_workspace_key"/>
<property name="&lt;Super&gt;comma" type="string" value="prev_workspace_key"/>
<property name="&lt;Shift&gt;&lt;Super&gt;less" type="string" value="move_window_prev_workspace_key"/>
<property name="&lt;Shift&gt;&lt;Super&gt;greater" type="string" value="move_window_next_workspace_key"/>

Of these, Shift+Super+< does not work, while the others do.

I am running Xfce 4.16 on Debian 11, and the standard English US keyboard where < and , are on the same key.

Can anyone help me understand what the problem might be?

Thanks!

Re: Keyboard shortcut does not work

I can replicate this problem. Its not processing the "<". I don't see any open bug report about this (https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/libxfce4ui … ate=opened) - perhaps you could create one.

Thank you for the reply. I created an issue in gitlab.xfce.
