Lock screen: How to assign custom keyboard shortcut?

Hi,

I have two computers, both running Debian Jessie with XFCE.

On "Computer 2", I can lock the screen with "CTRL+ALT+DEL".
On "Computer 1" this doesn't work (no reaction).

Both have light-locker installed and can be locked when I click my usename and "lock screen".

Apart from the strange behaviour that "Computer 1" does not lock the screen on "CTRL+ALT+DEL" keypress, I would like to assign a different keyboard shortcut. I did not find an entry for "lock screen" in the "Window Manager" > "Keyboard shortcuts" settings, so how can I do it?

Thanks
Christoph

Try Settings Manager > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts. You should find it in there.

That's close, I found it in Settings Manager > xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts

Changed it, but it didn't work instantly. Did a reboot in the meantime, now it works. Thanks!
