 Basically, this complaint is about the xfce4-popup-* tools (maybe there
 are more useful apps, how should I know without documentation?). The
 only hint was in the XFCE FAQ about xfce4-popup-windowmenu and in
 different context but what I really needed was
 xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu.
 
 This information should be part of the editor dialog, currently there is
 no help button, no tool tip, no selector control for internal tools in
 the entry editor, just nothing useful for the mentioned purpose to ease
 user's life.
 
The problem is that the keyboard editor can't know about *all* those
tiny helpers, they are shipped by their relevant packages. Maybe that
bit of information should be added (when it's not already the case) to
those packages documentation. Could you clone/reassign this bug to the
various packages where it's needed?

Bug#648517: Keyboard combo editor should offer or document helper apps

[Eduard Bloch]

Package: xfce4-settings
Version: 4.8.3-1
Severity: minor

IMHO the keyboard editor is not helpful when user attempts to add a key
combo for some internal function.

Basically, this complaint is about the xfce4-popup-* tools (maybe there
are more useful apps, how should I know without documentation?). The
only hint was in the XFCE FAQ about xfce4-popup-windowmenu and in
different context but what I really needed was
xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu.

This information should be part of the editor dialog, currently there is
no help button, no tool tip, no selector control for internal tools in
the entry editor, just nothing useful for the mentioned purpose to ease
user's life.

Regards,
Eduard.
