Open System Settings (power icon in the top right) and select "Keyboard" (not "Keyboard Layout").
On the "Shortcuts" tab, select "Navigation" in the left menu.
Scroll down to find "Hide all normal windows".
Click the shortcut text to the right, and it will show "New accelerator".
Press Super+D and it will change.
Try it out.

Ubuntu – Windows-like global shortcuts with the key in Xubuntu

I had the same issue and I finally resolved it. Since there is no way to solve this with Xfce alone, one needs the small tool ksuperkey. It was originally developed for KDE, but it works fine on other desktops. You basically install ksuperkey or compile it yourself, and bind your menu to "alt+f1". Once you run ksuperkey, the superkey will behave as one would expect. I highly recommend to put this tool into some form of autostart, so that ksuperkey gets started on startup. Set it and forget it!

Ubuntu – XUbuntu: Make Shift+NumPad work like Windows

After some grepping I found the solution: You need to add the numpad:microsoft option to the XkbOptions. On older Ubuntus, do that in your xorg.conf. On newer ones open the file /etc/default/keyboard and change this line:

XKBOPTIONS=""

XKBOPTIONS="numpad:microsoft"

Save and reboot (restarting X doesn't seem to work, at least not with RAlt+PrintScreen+K). You may need to run sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration for changes to take effect.
