** Description changed: - Just like in regular Lu 18.04 the "eject" key doesn't open the optical - drive tray, but running a command in the console will open the tray. + The default configuration in both Lubuntu 18.04 and upstream Openbox + does not include a definition for the eject media key. + + Solution: + 1. Open up ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml in an editor + 2. Go to either the beginning or ending of the <keyboard> section + 3. Add this: + + <keybind key="XF86Eject"> + <action name="Execute"> + <command>eject</command> + </action> + </keybind> + + 4. Save and restart openbox with `openbox --reconfigure` + + Note however, though, combining this with a definition for the stop + media key could create a potential conflict: + + $ xmodmap -pke | grep Eject + keycode 169 = XF86Eject NoSymbol XF86Eject + keycode 170 = XF86Eject XF86Eject XF86Eject XF86Eject + keycode 174 = XF86AudioStop XF86Eject XF86AudioStop XF86Eject
