Using hotkey combinations can be a bit of a mess when several programs claim combos. It might work if you first start superswitcher and then re-add your key combo in the xfce keyboard shortcut settings, but you don't want to do that every time you start xfce. Most of what Superswitcher can do can already be done by xfce (look into the 'window manager -> keyboard' settings), so maybe you should file a feature request on the xfce site, asking to add some of the features you now use superswitcher for?

I installed superswitcher, which works by pressing the Super key, but I want to map the +o combination to the following xte 'keydown Super_L' 'key Up' 'keyup Super_L' But somehow this doesn't work. If I run it in the terminal it works OK, but it doesn't work when invoked through XFCE shortcut. Do you know what may be the problem? Thanks much hi,
