Re: XFCE: ALT-F1 shows the wrong menu on Debian 11

A second key press shows the CTRL-ESC (xfdesktop --menu) menu, not the app menu. What's going on? I'm suffering from the same in both machines I have with Debian 11. It looks like "xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu" is a simple wrapper Bash script. All it does is trying to execute "xfce4-panel" with a long line of parameters and if that fails, fallback to execute "xfdesktop --menu" instead. Man page for "xfce4-panel" doesn't explain anything about "--plugin-event" parameter, so it looks like it was reworked somehow. The problem is that "xfce4-panel" never fails to execute with that undocumented parameter, so fallback option doesn't work. You can file a bug report about this, or change a command, assigned to 'Alt+F1' key combination, to "/usr/bin/xfce4-panel --plugin-event=applicationsmenu:popup" The replacement command you propose doesn't work any better for me. I'm going to file a bug report. Best, José Luis

I just tried this and it doesn't work for me (nothing happens when I add Fn).

XFCE: ALT-F1 shows the wrong menu on Debian 11
Hi, Upon upgrading to Debian 11, the ALT+F1 key, which is assigned as a shortcut to xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu, according to XFCE's settings, no longer shows the applications menu and instead the app menu button on my panel appears pressed without the menu unfolded. A second key press shows the CTRL-ESC (xfdesktop --menu) menu, not the app menu. What's going on? I'm suffering from the same in both machines I have with Debian 11.
