Just to be clear, the +
is not part of the key combination in the above screenshot.
It doesn’t it shows ctrl+`
Note the trailing backtick

It is Ctrl plus a backtick
What does that mean?
If you zoom in, you will see ` is there (backtick) (Zoom is holding ALT and scrolling mouse)
There is another character after the + if you look carefully.
We have also been trying to show that in all our responses. Do you have some special glasses that hide that character?
Okay but I’m confused> So is it Ctrl+’
No, that is a single quote. He used a backtick. If you are using a us qwerty keyboard it is the character under the ~(tilde)
Yup - the CTRL key and the ` key - easy to find at the top and bottom corners of the keyboard…
But so the + sign is automatically added when you put the other character?
Yes, the plus sign indicates that you push the 2 keys together. Just like when we say press ctrl+alt+f3
to get a TTY
You got it - just telling you it’s a multi-key combo…
Oh okay…me dumb!
Not when the lights are on! (and the lights are always on now, w/that keyboard, right?)
I thought it was Ctrl plus the + sign so that is what i was trying to set? But i guess it would give you Ctrl ++ then?
Yup - and it would work too…
I noticed the drop down Xfce4 terminal also put an icon in the task bar.
Yeah I saw that too - a nice toggle switch for when the mouse is handier Now - if only I could size and place it better (still looking for the settings).
Edit: Here they are…
So i like this because now i learned something else. I want to do the same as @nate and add sudo thunar and thunar and reboot etc. But i don’t know some of these things such as knowing what to put like:
1 --drop -down
2 --minimal
3 --menu
You can usually get the options (at least the most useful ones) a command (app) accepts by typing commandname --help
.
For full reference man commandname
If all else fails, write a script and call that! Seriously, though - why would want to sudo thunar? You can just ‘open folder as root’ when you get there and need root access - thunar is great at the stuff you can add for it to do. If you want a config file for giving you these extras, I pop it on my Google drive for you I find it much more useful than opening another one and having to navigate there all over again…
