Background
In xfce4, pressing Ctrl+Alt+End hotkey cycles to the next workspace. The settings for this can be displayed from the command line using:
xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -lv | grep -i end
This reveals:
/xfwm4/custom/<Alt><Control>End move_window_next_workspace_key
/xfwm4/default/<Alt><Control>End move_window_next_workspace_key
/xfwm4/default/<Primary><Alt>End move_window_next_workspace_key
Problem
When using VNC to connect to a Windows terminal, Windows authentication software prompts the user to send Ctrl+Alt+End to authenticate.
Question
How do you remove the hotkey for Ctrl+Alt+End so that the hotkey passes through to VNC?
Idea
The following did not work:
xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -p "/xfwm4/default/<Alt><Control>End" --type string --set ''
xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -p "/xfwm4/custom/<Alt><Control>End" --type string --set ''
xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -p "/xfwm4/default/<Primary><Alt>End" --type string --set ''
The hotkey continues to cycle the desktops.
Best Answer
Try removing (or changin) the appropriate entry(s) in the
~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml
file.
