Tab-key and p-key not working for bash-completion on XFCE
A bizarre bug redirects tab and the 'p' key with XFCE. You need a modified copy of:$HOME/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xmlIf you have not modified that file, you can download a properly modified copy at: xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml Replace the copy in $HOME/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml Or, you can manually edit this file and change the following line
<property name="<Super>Tab" type="string" value="switch_window_key"/>to this
<property name="<Super>Tab" type="empty"/>and remove the line
<property name="<Super>p" type="string" value="xfce4-display-settings --minimal"/>then restart your session.
