Shortcut wont change XFCE

#1 Post by Mixtli »

Hello! I'm trying to change the Shortcut to open "thunar" by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F but, even though it is established in the shortcut management in XFCE (Keyboard->Shortcuts), every time I press that configuration a "Manage History" app pops up. I looked up for a solution to this problem on the forum and online but I can't find one.

Thanks in advance

that's the clipboard tool history manager.

do a right click on the clipboard tool in the system tray and select preferences. then the hotkeys tab. remove the cntrl+alt+f from there and then the Xfce version should take over.
