Make XFCE application menu appear when using Windows key

Posted by on

To make the XFCE application menu pop up when you hit the Windows key add the following application via the keyboard shortcuts and press the Windows key when prompted.

xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu

It doesn’t work exactly the same as windows since hitting the key twice does not make the menu disappear.

UPDATE : On 14.04 this appears to now be called

xfce4-popup-whiskermenu
