google-chromekeyboardxfcexubuntu
I have installed Ubuntu with unity by default, but compiz + java develop is less then sufficient with a ATI graphic card, so, I installed the xubuntu-desktop package.
The problem is: In Google chrome (which I use to test my web apps), when I press Ctrl+F5 (clean cache and refresh), it simply does nothing.
I think this is some issue with XFCE keyboard shortcuts.
Anyone know how to solve it?
It all depends on how you want your system If you just want bare xfce as your desktop and run all the applications you have been running. You can just do
apt-get install --no-install-recommends xubuntu-desktop
and remove those unity and gnome related desktop packages using synaptic and choose xubuntu session from gdm during login. Adding to what jpfluery pointed out the given script tends to replace applications such as libreoffice, evolution, totem, empathy, banshee, gedit with some lighter alternatves i.e abiword,gnumeric, thunderbird,parole,pidgin,gmusicbrowser,mousepad etc which are recommended packages of xubuntu. With xubuntu what you will get is
If you need xubuntu-artworks, plymouth theme and even gdm theme you can install them as well.
i prefer using Alt+d to move the window into the left half of the screen and Shift+Alt+d the right half.
/usr/local/sbin/window-left and /usr/local/sbin/window-right/commands/custom/<Alt>d, String and /usr/local/sbin/window-left/commands/custom/<Shift><Alt>d, String and /usr/local/sbin/window-right
(You can choose the best shortcut Keys, that fit for you using <Alt>, <Shift>, <Control> and <Super>)

Generally in XFCE keyboard shortcuts the shortcut key Ctrl+F5 is configured to switch to workspace 5, if you do not have any workspace 5, then hitting ctrl+f5 wont do anything.
To resolve it goto,
check the Keyboard tab, and find the option which has Ctrl+F5 configured as short-cut key,
clear that short-cut key.
you should be able to use Ctrl+F5 key now for chrome.
